What driver are you using?

I found an iso for the Dell version for Windows it a Dell oem model

I found an iso for the Dell version for Windows it a Dell oem model i have tried a few others i found same issue

Try these... http://vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=8 … menustate=44,37

I have already tried those same thing as what I currently used not difference

Could the sound card be damaged or in need of a capacitor replacement i was thinking of buying another one but if that's not the case and I have the same issue it would be a waste of money I dont have another pc to test it on

It might be a hardware resource conflict?

The only time I have issues with installing drivers for sound blaster is when I dont have the exact driver it likes. I recently installed a SB Live on my pentium 3 and I was using the wrong driver and it did the same freezing during installation.

Does the card work under dos?

Yes it does. ( I have been using a Live 5.1 card since I bought it in the 90s or early 2000s andit does work in dos

Alright I just downloaded 5 different drivers and see if any work since the one for my model wasn't

Try to use this install cd ISO , if you havent donwloaded it already

I tried the install cd and 5 different drivers 3 of which people say work with the model i have tried to do a full re install with no gpu or anything else just sound card drivers no dice just freezes and has an error in driver menu saying code 11

Just bought another of the exact same model that said cleaned and tested so if it doesn't work it won't work on my system if it works then there's a problem with mine and I have something to go off

MS doesn't even have a detail on code 11 lmao

I still think it's a hardware resource conflict.

We dunno what mainboard it is/what other cards are present ; all speculation valid =)

It a slot 1 440bx motherboard with 550 mhz pentium 3 and ati rage 128 pro gpu

Could be 440zx

Does it have onboard audio? Exact brand/model of mainboard?
