I've disabled the onboard audio and the only other card I have installed is a Adaptec 2906 SCSI in slot PCI5. With the SoundBlaster installed in any of the other PCI slots the computer won't boot.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your time
Larry
 
Larry,

Didn't you post this question already? I responded to a query much like yours if it wasn't you... did you see the response?
 
Tom:

I thought you said you had a solution to my problem? If not, does anyone know how I might get my Sound Blaster and SCSI to live together. I just can't get it to boot when I install the sound card.

Try moving both cards to different slots until you find a combo that works.

Which version of SB is yours?
 
Don't believe you've mentioned your op/sys: and what is model number on SBLive circuit board?

With the SCSI card in PCI5, I tried the SoundBlaster Live Value (Model CT4830) in all the other slots with no luck (no boot). I then moved the SCSI card to PCI3 and tried the SB in all slots - again no go. There is a jumper on the SB that I can change from 3 to 1. I'm not sure if this will change the IRQ. I'm using XP Pro.

Thanks for your time

There are no IRQ jumpers on CT4830; I just looked and I can't get at my 2906 but I'm pretty sure there are no IRQ jumpers on that either. The Adaptec non-bootable 2906 documentation and website do not address XP support but probably because the card was out prior to XP. I had this problem with the CT4830 and NIC with Win98. I don't know if you can manually IRQ configure in XP, but try to manually configure the 4830 [with the 2906 out of the box] then install the 2906 and let it take what it wants if it boots.

Larry,

There is no reason that I can figure, why installing a SB card would prevent a boot. are you sure you have a good enough PS to run the show? I have had a SCSI card and some form of SB card in my computers ever since the BE6-II I had and I have gone from there to an SA6R, a KG7, a BE7, a IC7-G and an IS7-G both currently operating with SB cards (Audigy) and an Adaptec 29160 and an Adaptec 2940UW. No issues. There is nothing inherent in these two cards that presents a conflict.
 
oh, and I forgot the BD7-II that I had set up with those cards as well...
