Hello Tusing and Listers.
Tusing, I'm sorry you are having so much trouble with the SB live card. I
think I saw the answer to this before but, would you mind dropping me a
line, telling me what your system looks like, its speed, how much memory
you have, etc. I use the card on two Pentium 2's, one considerably faster
than the other, both with complete success, with Access32 and with
Eloquence. Although I do not use Eloquence much because of Access32,
Eloquence performs well regardless. I can't help but thinking that there
is a parameter or two that you must reset or disable, or that the problem
lies somewhere else in your system. By the way, you can plug your mike
directly into the card, at least, as far as I know.
