Just a shot in the dark but you might want to make sure the onboard sound on the motherboard is set to disabled instead of AUTO. I had unpleasant problems when A V3 and a SBLive were in the same comp with the auto setting on.
hope it works.

thx for the help. i belive we have different board.
just remember, there were one time where both card live happy together,
thats when i forget to install directX 7.0a. i was playing some old game
to test out v5 :) i know i wont get much more driver update and the support, but i do like this card. as i start going up the directX, i try
DX7.0a and DX8, i start to get continus inistant reboot.

this is more detail info of what i have running right now:

asus p3v4x ver 1.003 ( i have not flash bios once, would like to fix this problem without doing flash )
PIII 700 running at 700MHz able to hit 1022 so far with pc100 ram :)
tekram 390u2w
32X scsi plextor cd-rom
ide-dvd
4.0 Gig scsi drive
and i have clean drive with nothing in it. (( just did my 4th format today, cant get rid of reboot ))

if anyone with info on how to make sb live working in DX7.0a please please

thx for all the help

Are you using the latest drivers for your Live card? Older versions had compatibility problems with PIII's. If there are newer BIOS versions for your mobo, definitely flash it, it's not hard just follow the flashing directions.
