I never really thought there was much difference between sound cards until I loaded WinXP. While I was waiting for Hercules to come out with drivers for my Game Theater XP I used an old Audio PCI...

What motherboard are you using? Keep in mind that the SB Live's normally use two IRQs. (one for DOS emulation)

The single most troublesome card I've ever owned in my life. Finally ran it over with the truck!

Seriously, is this a brand new Iwill mobo? I though I read somewhere that they were gonna discontinue the standard KK266 and come out with a KK266+. The new board was supposed to have 5.1 capability...

I know what you mean Dillon. I just wish I would of read the forums at Hercules before I bought mine. There was a post there about a class action suit until the moderator removed it. As I mentioned...

Thank you K6-III for the link to www.3dsoundsurge.com. Actually after reading posts there, I am more determined to send this "thing" back. (I won't call it a sound card for obvious reasons) I even...

Thanks for your willingness to help.

Here's are the symptons. When Windows boots, it plays halfway through the "Start Windows" jingle, and then goes quiet. Windows works fine but I can't get any...

I am very happy for those of you who have actually got these things to work, but if you are thinking of buying one, please read the forum at Hercules first. If you think the SB Live! is problematic,...

Bought the OEM version of the Hercules Game Theater XP. Can someone please tell me where to find a manual for it. I can't find one on the CD or on their website. I have no sound at all so I assume I...

I'm using the same sound card and motherboard without any problems whatsoever. It helps if you know the IRQ arrangement for the PCI slots. Look here:

I hate this MX300 with every fiber of my being. A hell of a lot more trouble than its worth.
