gp2 and soundblaster live (!)

Hi Folks, Recently I decided to reinstall GP2 and drive around for a bit. But, I discovered that it will not detect my Soundblaster Live card--seems to have something to do with the SB emulation. The "wave emulation" checkbox in AudioHQ is greyed out for some reason. I tried running "sbego.exe" to test things and it gave me an error, asking "Is SB emulation enabled? . . ." Apparently not. Any clues? best, and thanks, David Karr

Same thing happened to me awhile back. No amount of retesting or reconfiguring got the sound to work again. Lucily, I had a copy of the sound.cfg file elsewhere. I then overwrote the corrupted one, and then it worked fine. Good luck.. JPS

Just a quick question! You got GP2 to run under DOS with SB Live? I can only run it in Windows in order to get sound in the game! Borut

Folks, I didn't even get it to detect my (SB Live) soundcard, let alone run GP2 under either DOS or Win95/98 . . . HELP!!! DK >Just a quick question! You got GP2 to run under DOS with SB Live? I can only

My SB Live Value runs GP2 in a DOS reboot. I have the line in my DOSSTART.BAT I also have in DOSSTART.BAT Works for me :)> "ZZ" -- Official member IGPS (Internet Grand Prix Series) ----------------- Busch Carpentry "Plans?" ---------------- Busch Motorsports "Remember racecar is racecar spelled backward"

What kind of Motherboard do you have? I've noticed that the Asus P5A has a problem with the SBL emulation mode. Might check to see if it is your motherboard.
