what to try next? I'm at the SB site trying to find some "knowledge" there. so far, nothing.


Over the years I have had a static problem with my SB cards on many occasions. This is why I like onboard sound ... never have a problem. Right now I have my SB Live in a old Tyan Tiger with a ATI All in Wonder 7500 and every time I record something there is the static... you barely hear it, but it is there. This occurs in both 2K and XP so I know it is a hardware issue.

Past experience has shown me that this is caused by some kind of or IRQ or Memory address conflict. The only way I have solved it is by moving things around in their slots, or just start pulling cards out one at a time, and then see if it gets better. It is a painful and tedious process but it is the only way I have ever been able to deal with it.

I haven't done this on my own problem yet because it is just too much of a hassle.


Interesting. I seem to have memories like that too. This system has been fine until I started plugging things into the front drive-bay unit. I have an Delphi Roadie 2 that I like to listen to while working...so I'd plug it into the front break out box from time-to-time....seems like that's when I started noticing these problems. Most times, I'd just get a pop now and then...but lately, it's so bad that I have to turn by speakers off. Muting the sound doesn't help, either.

Seems like it's always something....must be getting time to upgrade...
