Request please - If you own a GUS Max revision 1.8 board, preferably without the RAM upgrade, please can you download the free demo called epic megagames pinball, found here - http://www.digitalextremes.com/files/epicpn21.zip and then run setup.exe to select your sound card, then just play pinball …

I'm having some problems with a GUS Max, revision 1.8 board. I used a genuine GUS installation CD, to install all of the software, but I forget who gave me the CD, and consequently, I'm not 100% sure if this CD is OK for a 1.8 board, although I'm fairly sure it's OK however. Edit: I remember now, it …

It's suppose to be the DSP version that causes the hanging notes btw. I played Heretic for circa 20mins today without getting any hanging notes with my CT2800 Was that using the "megamid method"? If so, I think this could apply to all Creative ISA soundcards, and not just the CT2800, but much more …

How many (roughly) of the Creative ISA soundcards are plagued with the "hanging/stuck" daughterboard problem? The reason I ask is that I am testing a SB16 (CT2230) with a DB attachment, and haven't noticed this problem with the "hexen warp" test. Thanks for any info. :happy: Interesting.....what …

Just wanted to know if both units are yours. (It's trivial stuff, but I managed to spot in the sentence construction a possibilty at coming to a conclusion by reading the facts alone, which do not point to the obvious. I was trying to arrive at a conclusion that only one is your unit from your …

I'm sorry, I don't understand the first part of your message. As for the headphone jack, I think it is defective, but I might open up the unit to see if I can spot anything obvious near this headphone port. But for now, I think I'm going to leave it. If I can get some tunes out of the back audio …

I think I've "solved" this problem! :happyhappy: When I say "solved", I mean I can reproduce a specific set of steps so that "hexen warp 02" never has the hanging/stuck notes problem, when you use the soundblaster card with a daughterboard attachment!

Hah! I don't even want to know why you still tried that.
