As I posted last week, I have the problem of a almost mute right channel and bad soundquality in my celeron 300 @ 450 machine with an Soundblaster Live under Win95B and DirectX 6.1.
I tried all the suggestions supplied by you, unfortunately, all without any improvement.
I got an Pentium II 400 cpu this weekend, and the problem is simply gone.
Which lets me come to the conclusion, that the culprit for my problem is not the PCI slot or any IRQ or any incompatibility between video and soundcard, is the cpu. The overclocked celeron. I checked with the two different cpu around 10 times (how often can one insert/remove slot1 cpus, anyway?), and it is as simple as that: celeron 450 = NoGo, PII 400 = OK.
I toyed around with my celeron, which is now running "stable as a rock" under Win95, Win NT4 and Linux for more than 5 months, I tried more corevoltage, I tried less voltage. No change, simply NoGo on around 75% of boot.
Did any of you experience similar problems with this soundcard / cpu combination?
Could you solve them?
How?
