As a result of upgrading to Win98SE, I find that I have to re-install my SoundBlaster Live Value drivers. I have sound in GPL now, but I can't get my CD's to play over 4 speakers, and parts of the Creative launcher are no longer functional. I know that many GPL-er's use the SBLive, so I'd like to know what soundblaster drivers you are using and where they can be found (other than www.soundblaster.com, since that server seems to always be busy...). Are you using Liveware 3 or Liveware2, or something else? Any help/advice would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Bert

I have another problem. My gameport on my sblive doesn't work. It worked for a while, but now my contoller is detected as "not connected". I suspect there may be some conflicts with the on-board sound card, but I have never installed any drivers for it. It's really annoying, since it means I am stuck with the Logitech pedals. -- -asbjxrn Consultant, n.: An ordinary man a long way from home.

What computer do you have? Some of the latest Compaq models also have these annoying on-board sound cards, you must turn them off in the BIOS otherwise you won't get another sound card working in Windows. Otherwise call the manufacturer of your pc how you can turn the thing off.. Andre

It's a mix-match of lotsa different components. Hastily thrown together of the cheapest parts available except for the components they show on the pricesheet, like cpu, ram, and videocard. And trust me, here in Hong Kong, they know how to get cheap parts... The motherboard is some unknown brand with via chipset. I think I'll just try uninstalling the soundblaster gameport, and reinstalling it again and see how it works. Can't get worse than it is right now. -- -asbjxrn Consultant, n.: An ordinary man a long way from home.

Oh, and I've turned off the soundcard in the bios a long time ago, windows still detects it somehow. -- -asbjxrn Consultant, n.: An ordinary man a long way from home.

Uh-o... Problem is they seem to work for quite a while, then suddenly one day they don't work anymore. (If I get them working again, I won't even think about doing changes to my setup.) So maybe it's best to get them working on the 5.th :-) -- -asbjxrn Consultant, n.: An ordinary man a long way from home.
