Asus CUV4X + SB Live! Problems

[wekoontz]

I am having a problem making my Asus CUV4X motherboard work with my Creative Sound Blaster Live! Value sound card. When the Sound Blaster Live! Value is plugged into PCI slots 1-4, the motherboard fails to detect the SB Live! When the SB Live! is plugged into PCI slot 5, the motherboard detects it, then Windows 98se and Windows 2000 Pro allow me to install the SB Live! Drivers (Live!Ware 3 for 98se & Live!Ware for 2000). When the drivers are initialized, I get a loud hiss from the speakers, but no other sounds at all. I have installed a Creative Sound Blaster PCI 128 sound card into PCI slot 5 for the meantime, and it appears to be working fine.

Does anyone have any advice?

Have you got the 11/99 drivers as well? There's a problem with LiveWare 3 and Coppermine processors. The latest drivers should fix your problems.

In windows 98, I have tried Live!Ware 3.0 (10/19/99), then the Live! driver update SBLW-9XDRV-1-US (Revision 1) (5/5/2000), as well as the driver update (5/5/2000) by itself on a clean install, and in all cases I get the same result, or lack therof.

I can't locate and SB Live! drivers dated 11/99. Was that update superceded by SBLW-9XDRV-1-US (Revision 1) (5/5/2000)?

Thanks.

Let the BIOS assign the IRQs. Select NO under the boot options where it asks about the plug &amp; play OS.

I have the same configuration, and for some reason the OS won't detect the SB card or my PCI NIC with plug &amp; Play OS enabled in the bios.

You may also wish to disable USB support as well, if you are not using any USB devices...this will free up an IRQ.
