SBlive & Geforce 2

[Furr]

My Pc seems to be major problems with the SBlive ard, with it crashing after repeating sound loops, could it be because my SBlive 5.1 card is sharing an IRQ with MY Geforce 2 mx card??

OS: Win XP

2000 and XP share the ACIPI function which assigns devices to the same IRQ. In 2000 it was possible to install it without this functionality and use the Win 9x method. Not sure about XP...

But anyway my point is... No I don't think it is a problem unless your M/B is'nt compliant with ACIPI

Damn.

Yup on my 2000 install everythings on IRQ11, but it all works

IRQ Sharing works well under W2K/XP so normally won't be the problem.

yes and no

it works well on all but a few chipsets (such as intel 815)

Try enabling Memory hole in bios, it fixes that problem with alot of ppl. what i have to do too.

Found the problem, the particual motherboard i have has problems under windows XP with the ACPI (or something like that) so i downloaded the beta drivers to fix the problem, and everything works great again
