CUSL2 ,SBLive, & Windows Mediaplayer

[CADbad]

Can't get SBlive working. Have it installed in PCI3, Nic in slot 4, When Music in placed in CD Media Player comes up, shows that it is playing, but no output. I have hooked up both cables to Asus 50x CDRom, ans installed the ME drivers. Everything shows up fine in Devise Mgr. Sure am tired of fighting this Big Dog. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. (Andy Hui are you out there?)

Check out CUSL2.comthere are a few helpful suggestions re: this same prob. Apparently SB Live has issues with the 815 chipset--possibly due to its being an IRQ hog.

Eh? That's strange.....I thought I tried to answer this question yesterday, but it seems my post has disappeared.

Hmm...since you are using WindowsME, Creative has dumped DOS support for this sound card, so the usual trick of assigning an IRQ to legacy under the BIOS does not apply.

Start with getting the latest drivers for the SBLive at www.SoundBlaster.com.

Also check that you have all the various volumes set correctly, ie master, cd audio, wav/directsound.

If you have 2 CD audio cables, the digital and the analog, then you should mute the Analog CD volume, and use the CD Digital volume.

You may also wish to disable a serial port or two if you want to free up the IRQs.

I have another problem, in my CUSL2 M I am using the audio from the motherboard, but when I want to play a cd with Window Media Player it tells me that can not play it digitally and plays in analog way with no visualitation.
Please help, thanks in advance
