| 101855 | 2002-11-27 02:44:00 | Hello All. I am have some very werid problems with my sound card. First off, I have NO idea what our sound card is, becuase in "Device Management" it says this: Audia Codecs Aureal Vorten 8830 Audio (WDM) Aureal Vortex Game Port Legacy Audio Drivers Legacy Video Caputure Devices Media Control Devices Unimodem Half-Duplex Audio Device Video Codecs I play GTA3 alot and the sound card seems to give up and crap out in the middle of a game. Then when I go back to windows, the sound card won't play anything in there. I also remember using Windows ME (I know know, BIG mistake) but I had Diamond Vipper V770 and Diamond Monster Sound II on that computer and it had all these cool 3D drives and wot not. But now I don't get 3D sound and none of the drivers work on XP PRO. I am really confussed. I think the sound card is running on XP Drivers :/ Oh yeah, I do want 3D sound as we have a Cambridge Sound Works System with 4 speakers and sub and it seems a waste not having te 3D sound. Hope Some one can help. Thanks James |

| 101857 | 2002-11-27 03:09:00 | I'm about to go for a SB!Live 5.1 Channel soundcard for about $79 all up. I'll let you know how it goes, but I've read good reviews about it! Cheers Chilling_Silence (BTW - In keeping with Tweak'es advice, They've been around a while and I've still got some old SB16 cards lying around too)(They work well too mind you)(:p) |
