SYMPTOMS

When you start Logic Audio version 3.5, it may stop responding (hang).

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if your computer contains an ESS1888 or Aztech 2320 Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) sound card.

Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.

Click the Device Manager tab.

Double-click the Sound, Video and Game Controllers branch to expand it.

Click the Aztec or ESS1888 device, and then click Properties.

Click to select the Disable in this profile" check box, and then click OK.

Restart your computer if prompted.
