uhm, no sound... why?

[sludge]

I just installed my Sound Blaster Live! card but i get no sound. I tried doing what the manual said, but that did not work. My volume is not muted, it is all the way up, and i have tried my speakers in every single spot on the back of my card. What is up here, why do i get no sound?

P.S. Where can i get that cable to connect my soundcard to my dvd-rom? I ordered OEM and did not get one...

The cable to connect your sound card to your DVD decoder is a simple audio interconnect cable. You should be able to pick one up at your local computer store for about a dollar.

There are no IRQ conflicts or resource conflicts of any kind? What is your setup (other cards) and what slots are your cards in?

I overclocked my 40w light bulb to run at 150w...

I need a new bulb.

Yeah that does smell like an IRQ conflict. Sometimes a quick fix is to throw it into a different PCI slot.

Heres my setup: ABit KT-7 mobo. Elsa Gladiac Gf2 GTS (AGP). 128Megs CAS2 SDRAM. 1.1Ghz Amd T-bird. Sound blaster card in PCI slot 2. NIC card in PCI slot 3. How would i fix an IRQ conflict?

I've seen a few guys install their live cards on pci4 and that solved the problem. Also when you move it, Reset Configuration Data in the PnP/PCI Configuration page of the BIOS after moving your card. Hope that helps.

I only do what the voices in my head tell me to...

Hmm, i manually set it up so that my NIC card and my sound card share IRQ 4. Still no sound. I guess ill try moving the card now...

BTW, how do i solve an IRQ conflict. Everything was just on auto before i did anything.

I moved the card to PCI slot 4 like you said, still no sound.
