I just installed a soundblaster live in my system but GP2
- does not recognize it in automatic setup
- it cannot be set manually to the correct values
The conclusion is now that I am running without sound.
Does anyone know a site with SB live drivers for GP2 or any other solution ?

Your autoexec.bat file needs to have the following lines in it:
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H1 T6
SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS
C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM
SET SNDSCAPE=C:\WINDOWS
Of course your exact folders may be different but the important thing is
that you are loading the SBEINIT.COM program.

I'm pretty sure you CAN run the Live soundcard from DOS because that's what
I do when I run ICR2 Rendition. As long as the SBEINIT program is loaded,
DOS programs can use the card just like any other.

I have Emulation driver installed and configured properly but GP2 will not
recognize the SB Live and locks up the computer. I have tried to install MANY
times, always with the same result. It runs nicely with no sound but it just
isn't the same. (Yes Ed, I have moved on, but it sure would be nice to have
GP2!)

IRQ 5 was the normal irq for sb16's, so I force my SB Live to use that IRQ.
In BIOS, you should have a setting to reserve IRQ's for ISA legacy devices.
Both systems I have used my Live in are Award BIOS's so I set IRQ 5 to
legacy rather than PNP and the Live then grabs it for DOS emulation.
I haven't tried it on GP2, but it did work for the other DOS programs I
tried (ICR, ICR2, NASCAR Racing, Aces of the Pacific, etc.)

Is this in DOS or in Windows ?
Mine worked fine until I changed my motherboard and CPU.
Now I'm having the same problems. No sound in either DOS or Windows.
And Yes, I have emulation running, and I have gone through all the
different settings in DOS. In Windows, If you choose a different
setting, it results in a system hang ........
