5. Known issues
---------------
5.1 When using the following applications/online services, select the
appropriate modem name from the following modem list:
1. AOL (America Online) - "Hayes Compatible (Default)"
2. Juno - "Generic 33600 modem".
3. BitWare - "Rockwell based voice modem"
5.2 On some systems, while installing the Windows95 OSR 2.1 for the first time, the
system hangs (SCR # 904).
Workaround: Use a newer version of Windows95, or contact your vendor for a special
driver version that does not present this behavior.
5.3 Recording master control in Volume Control Applet -> Recording does not move.
This is deliberate behavior, since the only function of this slider is to
enable Mute All checkbox. (SCR #584).
5.4 With some microphones, the recorded sound might be too low. To increase volume, open
the Windows "Audio Mixer" application, click on the "Playback -> Advanced" button,
and set the "20 dB gain" check box. (SCR #534).
5.5 If for some reasons, the installation of the drivers could not be completed
successfully, a "PCI device audio " Error Icon will appear in Control
Panel\System\Device Manager\Other devices.
If one tries to 'remove' it, the PC will stuck. (SCR #515).
Workaround: in the above case and other cases, do not try to remove such PCI Audio
drivers. Instead, choose Properties\Update Driver Tab and enter the correct
installation directory for this driver.
5.6 COMBO-2000 cards are not compatible with Main Boards of type "Octek Rhino 10 and 6VX".

6. Troubleshooting
------------------
If your modem does not work:
6.1 Double click on the CODEC device in Control Panel/Multimedia.
Select Modem property page, press the test button and watch the
diagnostics.
6.2 if ERROR, NO DIALTONE or a similar message is received, check
whether COMBO-2000 is connected to the line.

there is no interrupt conflict.
