Yes, The CM PSU would not boot the system. The Powerman PSU I tried right after had no issues booting. The exchange I got from the store was an Enermax, which booted as well. The store...

I recently got a Coolermaster PSU (can't remember the model) and connected it to an Asus P5G41T. The CPU fan would turn on for a couple of seconds, then off again (PSUvoltage set correclty). I then...

Thanks! That would be simple enough for the company owner, since he already has MS Office.

Hi everyone,

Someone is asking me for some recommendations for invoicing and quotation software. It has to be extremely simple/user friendly. The guy owns a construction company (not sure on the...

From what I know, the Santa Cruz is a great card because it doesn't make any of the crackling noises that some people experience with the SB Live! cards. The Santa Cruz driver is excellent compared...

The Santa Cruz does support digital output. Here are the specs:

I have this card, but I have analog Yamaha speakers, so I can't...

I had the same problem using the latest driver. Install the sound driver last. When you're asked to reboot choose "no," and Windows should finish detecting the sound card. Go into Device Manager and...

Go to http://www.soundblaster.com
and see if there is a newer driver available for the sound card.

Another vote for Santa Cruz. The Control Panel is excellent, and the sound is great.

A friend of mine has the MP3 Audigy on an Intel board with PIII866 CPU, and has crackling noise sometimes when...

I'm not sure of the hardware to get, but software wise, Sonic Foundry Sound Forge, Cakewalk or similar professional audio editing software.

The Turtle Beach gets my vote. The card is excellent, especially the TB Control Panel. You'll have no hardware conflicts when using this card with AMD-based systems.

I think that the cd audio cable is not connected to the cd rom. Check to see if the cable is connected to the cd rom audio out, and the other end should be connected to the sound card (or motherboard...

Go with the Santa Cruz. All my problems went away when I got the Santa Cruz. I had a SB MP3 card which caused problems that Best4x4 mentioned. Here's a link with some reviews:

Move the soundcard to PCI slot 5. Update the BIOS to the latest release.

I'm not familiar with this card, but did you try the latest driver? It could also be a resource conflict. Old sound card drivers from another soundcard could also be causing the crashes.

Good to hear it works now. Try updating the drivers also, using the Santa Cruz Sound Check.
