SB Live value and ME

Computer Hardware
#1

I just recetly bought a Sound Blaster Live Value sound card. It seemed to run fine for the first couple of days, but then this weird thing started happening.

Sometimes when I reboot the system, ME starts redetecting the card as a Early VGA device. All I have to do is reboot the system a couple of times and it goes back to normal with sound and all.

I switched the card to a different PCI slot, reinstalled the drivers. The problem keeps coming back. This is getting to be a pain.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Did you install the latest drivers?
DId you install LiveWare 3.0 (for Windows ME)?

These could do the trick…

Try moving your Sound Card to another PCI slot on the MB !

Make sure your SoundCard is NOT placed in the PCI slot which shares IRQ/Resources with the AGP slot !
