Fatal Error
Error DMA-1
System Halt.
To fix the problem I turned off my computer and removed the sound. Then I booted back up and disabled the onboard sound card in the BIOS. While in the BIOS I also set plug and play OS to NO (this should allow the bios to configure hardware). Then I saved settings and turned off the computer. Re-inserted the sound card and booted up without any problems. The sound card works fine now.
It may also be important to note that my onboard sound card has never functioned. That is why I installed the PCI sound card. The motherboard is brand new and I correctly installed the sound card drivers that came with the motherboard. After searching Google it seems this sound chip often has to be setup just right to work and it isn't worth that much time.
