Creative Live card; do I need wires from card to MOBO?
I just installed a Creative Labs Live card. I thought being in the PCI slot
it would have sound immediately upon being installed. I have no sound when attempting to play music off the HDD. I notice there are pins for on the card, one of which I know is for connecting the card to a CD rom, but am I supposed to also be connecting some wire from the card to the MOBO? |

I should have told you I guess. The card is installed in system properties
with no exclamation point. It says working properly. "Wilson" wrote in message . .. I just installed a Creative Labs Live card.

No. If the motherboard has onboard sound then it may still be in use. Try disabling it in the BIOS. -- Robert Hancock Saskatoon, SK, Canada To email, remove "nospam" from Home Page: http://www.roberthancock.com/ |

Well, I uninstalled my new ATI radeon and removed it from the MOBO
physically and then reinstalled the sound card. It came right up with no problems at all. I had noticed that the new video card installed several things under the Sound Properties in Windows Device Properties. I will now try to reinstall the video card now that I have the sound card working right. But I think I am going to have to get a less demanding video card. This ATI radeon x800 256 bit is probably not going to work well with my old Asus MOBO. "Wilson" wrote in message . .. I just installed a Creative Labs Live card.

Did you remember to plug in the speakers? |
