Hi there From time to time i'll go check in WinXP the secondary IDE chanel in system properties and I get a strange change in my DVD IDE channel! It changes from Ultra DMA mode 2 , to PIO mode! I unnistall 2ry IDE channel, do a refresh, reboot and it get ok, but in a few days it gets to the same PIO crap! Notice that I have a CDRW as master in the same IDE channel, but i don't think thats the problem... Anyone who knows about this issue? Thanks a lot! Specs: DVD-LG + Sony CDRW, both in same IDE channel 40Gb HD + 20GB HD, In the other IDE Sblive Gforce4 Ti 4200 512 DDR Atlhon +1700XP ECS k7s5a

Hi all! I Have this 2 problems with this new SBlive official drivers from 10/03/2003 1 - I've noticed since i installed this drivers I get no sound from the CENTER channel in some games (ex. Americas Army), wich didn't happend with the early drivers... I think the EAX is not working 8) Still get from the other 4 speakers, but I think with EAX off and it just uses 2 speakers. (I have selected EAX option in the games at all times) 2 - When I shutdown or restart I got a really loud treble sound just before it shutsdown/reboots... It makes my head spin! ;( :x Specs: AMD XP1700, GEforce4 ti42000, SBlive 5.1 - w/ 5.1 creative inspire, 512DDR This may help other ones that can have the same problems Thank you for your cooperation

Thanks for replies That's probably the cause yeah! Damn mike And how about EAX anyone that the problem? ;(

in the BIOS is all detected automaticly and I never had this problem before, and dont know if it is from clone cd or something... If there is a way like a reg key to block in DMA or something I would be apreciated... tks
