Soundblaster can't be seen!! HELP!!!

Raggyroller · 07-21-2004, 08:45 PM

I've recently reinstalled windows98SE, and now I'm confronted with the fact that the machine can't see my SoundBlaster Live Platinum sound card (with LiveDrive).
Every time I put in the installation CD ROM and try to run it, I get an error message which only gives me the option to close it down - so I can't get any further!!!
HELP!!! Please!!

Andrew.

Reset the soundcard

I get that problem a lot .. usually due to an improperly set card

Also,you might check into IRQ conflicts

Sorry to be a bit dim.... but how do I re-set the soundcard???

Open the case, unplug it and replug it back in

(turn the computer off first!)
