Hi folks,

Just upgraded to a Voodoo 3 (2000), and once I ddi so, I found that my
SBLive! Value simply wasn't recognized.  Reinstalling the Live doesn't seem
to help.  Any hints?  I'm using DX7, but the same occured when I was in
DX6.1.

sighs,

David K.

This may help.  When I built my system, the SBLive would fight for IRQ 10.
My primary video card also wanted IRQ 10.  I had to go into the bios, and
assign IRQ 11 to my agp slot, and when I rebooted, all was warm and fuzzy
with my system. ymmv.

Also, make sure that the sound card is NOT in the first PCI slot.
(regardless of whether the V3 is AGP.

If the V3 is AGP, place it in the AGP slot, leave PCI slot 1 empty and place
the S/C in any other slot.

If the V3 is PCI, place it in PCI slot 1 and the S/C in any other slot.

HTH,
Chris

I didnt have any problems with mine but a friend needed
to put his SB Live card in the lowest pci  slot. (furthest
away from agp slot) Everything was fine after that.
I hope this helps.

Damian.

Sorry this is a bit late but I must have missed this thread earlier...

Any particular reason why it shouldn't go in the first PCI slot?
I had a lot of problems with my SBLive card when I first got it (constant
muting of the sound) and wonder if this could have been part of the problem.

Cheers

I believe the conflicts occur as the 1st pci slot shares an irq with the agp
slot, so if your running an agp vid card you might want to put the Live in a
slot other than slot 1.

  True - it can cause problems.  Similarly, if you use anything
involving USB then leave the last PCI slot empty if you can.

Ahh.. wonder if that's my problem... I have a USB mouse which got installed
at about the same time I got the SBLive. Think i'll try it in slot 2 instead
later on and see if there is any difference because I still get the sound
turning off intermittently (damn annoying when your in the middle of a lap).
