I don't know of that problem specifically, but the drivers available as a separate download from Creative are newer than those bundled with the rest of Liveware. Maybe try those.
Yeah, the new drivers (the standalones, NOT the ones with LiveWare) should fix it right up. They did for me anyway, I had the same problem with the same mobo.
Is that Mode 4 PIO or UDMA? PIO4 is the old non-UDMA access that chews up CPU cycles, so that could be a possible cause. If it's UDMA then yeah, maybe look at the sound card and/or drivers.
PCI sound, external modem. If you must use internal gear then I'd probably still go PCI sound since any decent sound card is PCI these days, then use an ISA modem.
Try installing the drivers which you can download separately (follow the "Drivers Only" link from the LiveWare download page). There's a difference of some sort between the separate drivers and those...
The Live Value just comes with a 1/8" jack that plugs into an adapter cable which plugs into Cambridge Soundworks speakers (in other words, it's basically proprietary).
Not 100% sure but I think you'll need the LiveDrive for that. That means either buying a Platinum or getting a lesser model and the LiveDrive separately.
I've got a set of FPS2000s, and that came with both the cable adaptor and the slot cover. I reckon you just got ripped off (not that it matters unless you have an old card). Either that or the US...
ALL SB Live Value cards have a digital out. On older models it's in the form of a header on the card which you plug a slot cover into, on newer models they went with the yellow jack on the back. If...
Those lines wrathchild_67 mentioned control DOS memory management, nothing to do with SB16 emulation (Windows implicitly loads HIMEM.SYS anyway if you don't specify it). To turn off the DOS-mode SB16...
Writing MP3s to CD (and usually ripping CD -> MP3) is done digitally, so the sound card is irrelevant. That motherboard doesn't have ISA slots, so your Adaptec card won't fit. I have the board, and...
Network cards generally don't like sharing IRQs. Try to get your network card on its own and then worry about your lag if it still exists. An SB Live itself shouldn't cause a noticeable performance...
Yeah, that was with a SB Live Value. I dunno exactly what combination of things caused it to go wrong, all I know is that the separate drivers work and the LiveWare-bundled ones don't. Some people...
Yellow ?s in device manager, and a bluescreen the first time a sound was played after a reboot. After that, until the next reboot there were no more bluescreens but no sound either.
LiveWare 3 includes drivers, but I've had bad experiences with them. Install them if you like, but don't hesitate to go back and download the separate drivers if they don't work properly.
Nice thought, but does it list Australian shops? Shipping a set of speakers from the US would easily cost at least US$50 for a 2-speaker set or US$100 for a 4-speaker set, if not more. A humble...
You should turn off the onboard audio in the BIOS, then boot to Windows and clear it out of Device Manager if it isn't already before you install the SB. Also maybe try the separate driver download...
Clear out all your SB stuff. Then install the drivers from www.soundblaster.com (the separate ones, NOT the ones bundled with the rest of LiveWare). Reboot and install whatever you want from...
I don't normally advertise specific sites, but I just checked and www.scorptec.com.au is still selling the Creative FPS2000 Digital with a free SurroundStation (which is cool but not worth the $150...
