Is Sound Blaster Live SMP crash prone?

[MarksmanX 0]

Hi guys I have:

 

Dual Pentium II 450

128PC-100 RAM

Intellieye USB

USB keyboard

Sound Blaster Live

TNT2 Ultra

Promise Ultra DMA 66 controller

3COM 10/100Mbit 3XP processor

 

I don't know if it's the soundblaster live or the harddrive that locks up my system in Q3A. I run SMP mode and reboot and it runs fine for a few hours then it just locks up when it's loading a level, it doesn't happen when I am playing in the game only when it is loading the map, sound, models etc. Can someone please help me? I am on the latest drivers(beta) at the moment. Thanks guys

Did your computer find your SB Live? I have SMP and all it lists is"unknown multimedia device" and no mention of the SB live. If not what did you do to load it? I can't seem to get any sound out of my sb live which works fine in W98

I had soundblaster Live (model 1024) as of RC2 on my duel Celeron366 @ 550 and it worked with no problems. THe drivers are available with RC2 and later but if u have model 1024 or later go here for drivers: http://win2kbox.8m.com/files.htm

 

Only the front channel worked on the Live so as off build 2195 I went back to my MX300

Autoxer, Windows 2000 RC3 detected my sound blaster live. When I was in RC2 it did not detect it. So I deleted the whole multimedia devices in device manager. Then I rebooted and it got detected again. Make sure you use the drivers on the CD. If this doesn't work let me know

 

SHS I have build 2183 ( I think you're asking Autoxer, I am not sure )

 

Igore, I have no idea in determining what model number I have. But I know it's the really early ones because I bought it when it first game out and replaced my MX200 with it I don't know if it's the sound or the hardware that is causing the lock ups.
