SBlive and nascar99

A few weeks ago someone posted a note on the proper settings to get full 4 speaker sound effects from the soundblaster live card for nascar99. The note talked about the opponents cars going from the rear speakers to the front when you are being passed etc. I cant duplicate these effects...any suggestions ? Thanks in advance, R-Murray

Heh, I'm still using my Pro Audio Spectrum from 1992! -- Dream High, Aim High, Fly High--U.S. Air Force -- *****The WINGMAN*****

Actually, I was able to get my SBLive and N99 working on irq 2.

All Anyone having a problem with Dell machines not recognizing the resources of the SoundBlaster Live Value Edition when the memory range is 1020-103F and IRQ 10 or 9? I have forced the card to a range 4020-??? and unchecked the use auto settings box but when the SBEINIT runs in DOS it still shows the Can someone please help, I am getting the runaround from both Dell and Creative.. neither one wants to help! TIA Tom

I don't know if this will help you, but I also have a Dell and a SB Live card. My Live is set to IRQ 10, and memory range 1060-107f. Those are the settings that it configured during install, I have not needed to change it. The Live card works fine in Win '98, as well as Nascar 1999 in 3DFX DOS mode. -- --Paul My reply address is false, to deter spammers. Please post replies to this news group.

Paul, Thanks for the timely reply. I tried all night to sort this one out but unfortunately I'm still stuck... In my original post I stated that I could force it to 4020-????. Currently with auto settings turned off the card is happily working at I/O 4000-4027 and IRQ 10. The SB Emulation side is working at I/O1050-1057. The problem is not that it doesnt work right in windows, it is that when it runs SBEINIT You cannot turn this off whatsoever. I have deleted the Autoexec.bat and removed the SBEINIT file from the Program files\creative\sblive\dosdrv\ directory but it still initializes the there is a ctsyn.ini file in Windows that contains port information but it re-writes this as well. I have tried the SBSET -w0 command as well with no luck. I am at wit's end... is there anyone out there that can help with this problem? TIA Tom

Been checking every day for a response to this message... I hope I didnt stump the whole group with my strange problem. Does anybody have any ideas at all on this? Tom

I'm sorry I can't help. I thought I'd just tell you that I replaced my Turtle Beach with a SB Live Value and had no problems. I have a Dell PII 400.3 Mos old. IRQ 09, I/O 1020-103F. It does say a conflict with IRQ 09 PCI to USB Host controller, also IRQ 09 IRQ Holder for PCI Steering, but that is normal with Dell, and maybe other PC's. Sorry to hear about your trouble "ZZ" -- Busch Carpentry "Plans?" ---------------- Busch Motorsports "Remember racecar is racecar spelled backward"

Richard, It isnt that I am getting a conflict so to speak.... it is when I look at the resources of the card it is telling me that windows does not recognize the resources this device is using and that it is not a known configuration. It then says check the manually configure button to manually assign resources. Once you do it assigns the card to a known range usually around I/O 4000-4047 and IRQ 10. It then asks you to reboot. Once you do it goes right back to where it was. You can manually force the card to an I/O range with no conflicts but when you boot up hit the ESC key during the Win98 or plugged into. From the sounds of things you too are in the same boat as me. To clear the IRQ 9 conflict simply pull the card out from where it is and move it to another slot. I found that if you count the PCI slots that start directly below the AGP slot (the first being 1) the first slot will have IRQ 11 and the next will be IRQ 10 or 11 and the next one again will be 10 or 9. and the furthest slot from the AGP will always be IRQ 9. I cannot use the image file Richard.. that got corrupt a short time after purchasing the system. ZZTOP is KAPUT
