Determining Resources: Sound Blaster Live! Value Sound Card User's Guide

To find the current SB Live! SB16 Emulation resources in Windows 98 Second Edition:

1.Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

2.In the Control Panel window, double-click the System icon.

3.In the System Properties dialog box, click the Device Manager tab.

4.Double-click Creative Miscellaneous Devices, and then double-click Creative SB Live! SB16 Emulation.

5.Click the Resources tab.

You can use the information in the resource list to help you configure MS-DOS games for use with the SB Live! Value card.

The resource list may show three entries of "Input/Output Range" and two entries of "Direct Memory Access". They correspond to the sequence of entries in Table 1 and Table 3 in the section "Understanding the System Resource Settings". If the number of entries do not match, a good estimate of the identity of the device is its I/O address or DMA channel.

To find the current SB Live! SB16 Emulation resources in MS-DOS mode:

1.Switch to your SB Live! DOS driver directory, that is:

C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV

2.Type SBECFG and then press Enter

NOTE: The MS-DOS driver SBEINIT.COM must be running for SBECFG.EXE to work properly.

Some older games may have difficulty detecting the SB Live! card at certain resource settings. Typically, these games would expect the card to be at a fixed set of resources and would fail to load if those resources are not detected. If you have older MS-DOS games that do not work properly, try changing the SB Live! SB16 Emulation configuration. Use the following as a guide:

Problem: Sound Blaster emulation is not recognized.

Resource: Try switching the SB Emulation IRQ between 5 and 7, use DMA channel 1, use SB interface port 220.

Problem: The MPU-401emulation is not recognized.
