Sound blaster live

[jiaruigoh]

im using an msi 655 mobo. I just installed the sb live along with the drive ir and when i play anything the sound is choked full of static.

yet it works fine when i unplug the speaker jack and plug it back to the onboard sound

i tried disabling the legacy audio n onboard audio in bios and it didnt help

Try moving it to a different PCI slot.

-Get latest bios and chipset drivers for your motherboard
-Disbale onboard sound in bios. <-- can't be stressed enough
-Use these drivers for your live card: http://ie.europe.creative.com/support/drivers/eula.asp?id=1972

That should do it.

If you're still having trouble the Audigy 2 or 2 ZS drivers can be modified to install on a Live! series card. They tend to be better drivers.
