"snap crackle pop" poltorm on 29-May-2002 02:52:14 am
...when playing games, and when recording audio. There are a lot of things that can be done to troubleshoot, but it's kinda hard to realise you've spent a couple of weeks sweating & swearing and then you realise the card simply doesn't like the motherboard and there's nothing you can do about it (i've had the card for half a year now, that's how long it took me to find out). Will PC World give me my money back? I doubt it. Ripped again :-D

OK.. lets backup to when i first got the card.. it ran PERFECT on a celeron 333, then i trashed the 333 and got a duron750 (oc to 900) 383mb ram, i kept the card and w/ the duron it pops and crackles ect. all the time. especially when sound first starts playing. if you have intel, i highly recomend the card, but AMD is better and im not giving up my AMD for a sblive

What, did Creative get all their support people to put in reviews? This card has had nothing but problems with most of the community, especially people with athlons and VIA chipset motherboards. Crackling, popping, and data loss are some of the things you get with an SB LIVE card.. Go with Turtle Beach..from what I hear, it does not try to hog the PCI bus like the SBLIVE does..

I'm having problems with Sound Blaster Live.
My Specs:
MB: Abit KT7-133 Raid
Mem: 256K
OS: Win Me
Vid: All-In-Wonder Radeon
HD: 2 X 20Gig IBM Deskstar
My problem is when I listen to MP3 or wave files as well as play DVD the SB Live sounds like the the Reverb and the Chorus is on full blast making it so distorted that it really bad!
I've updated the All-in-wonder, sound blaster live, and directX drivers as well as removed the 16bit emulation in the computers property. I've also moved the card to the 5th pci slot.
What else should I do?
Help!!!!
SBLive sounds like garbage!
