New Soundcard - Dead Wheel!

by Bertram Hoenigman » Sun, 13 Dec 1998 04:00:00

I just replaced my old SoundBlaster 16 with a SoundBlaster Live Value
card, and now my TSW Wheel isn't recognized in Win95.  My logitech
Wingman Extreme Digital also isn't recognized, but when I use my Rage 3D
gamepad it IS recognized.  I've been using an A-B-C-D joystick switchbox
with the old soundcard and it worked great.  Now, as soon as I installed
the SoundBlaster Live, I have problems with the joystick port for 2 out
of the 3 controllers.

In Device Manager, under Sound, Video and Game Controllers, I have
Creative Gameport Joystick listed twice, Creative SB Live Value listed
once and Gameport Joystick listed once.  (The last one may be a leftover
from the old SB 16.)  There are no yellow explanation points displayed
for any of these, and under proerties, it says that the port is working
properly.  I've tried connecting the wheel directly to the port and that
didn't help.

Any thoughts/ help with this would be greatly appreciated.  I really
want to get the wheel going again!!!

I'm running Windows 95 OSR2.

Thanks!
