No sound with Soundblaster Pci 128

[infini]

I have windows 98 with soundblaster pci 128. My problem is that that i don't have any sound. I have cdhanged the card with another one but nothing. I also have a pinnacle studio dv and i don't know if this could cause any trouble. One thing to mention is that when i run dxdiag i get a message in directsound that it is used by another caller (i will have to verify this). I don't have any problems installing the card. The drivers are ok and i even get the speaker icon in the taskbar. Any help?

Go in to the Bios and see if the onboard sound is enabled if yes Disable it.

If that doesn't work try using a different pci slot.

I have disabled the onoboard sound and used another pci slot with no result. I will try to repost the exact mesage in directsound in a few hours when i will be at work. The strange is that when i enable the onboard sound the codec is not recognised by the operating system, just the mpu 401 compatible. I have also used another sb pci with the same results. Maybe the old drivers of the onboard codec were not uninstalled properly and this could cause the problem.

This is the message i get from directsound. " Failure at step 3. (DirectSoundCreate) HRESULT=0x8878000a (The request failed because DirectSound resources, such as the priority level, were already used by another caller
