First post, by maw
not to screw up this thread complete ( Sound Blaster Live! DOS Drivers ) I start a new one.
I switched now my well working GA-5SMM from Box1 to Box2 (Signature) because I thought the PV42 have a PCI problem. I got a ATI Rage 128Pro, SB Live 5.1 SB0680 and SB Audigy SB0570 which gets recognized by both boards and also by Win98 (unknown video/audio device) but no driver wants to work. They all say they don't find a corresponding card in the system.
I thought I have experience with all this but now I'm at a hold. Can it be really possible that all 3 cards don't work??? From different sellers? I don't believe so.
The GA-5SMM worked very well with my V3 3000 PCI. I also tested it now without any cards in the XION case with Wing Commander 4. I used all the onboard hardware - driver install Win98 without any problems. SiS Video and ESS solo audio - In dos6.22 and win98. Works like charm.
Is there a possibility that the PSU in the XION case could case the problem? .... in general what I noticed is that the main chips on the 128Pro and also the SB gets very hot - even in standard dos idle.
any ideas?
thanks
