I think you must be right, Tim.  Well, since SB-LIVE is STILL not
supported, I was wondering if anyone was successfully using the
awe64-pci card. They are ridiculously cheap now - $34.

  Hi Kyle,
  I had similar problems with the latest drivers for the Matrox G200.
  It seems that a lot of the video card suppliers are getting overly
aggressive
  in hogging the PCI bus. Try disabling "PCI retry" if such an option is

  available on the Voodoo3, otherwise, you can disable bus mastering
either
  explicitly, or by making sure that an interrupt is *not* assigned to
the
  video card. This hurts video performance, but should fix the sound.

  It looks like the only sane way to run the latest video cards is with
a PCI
  sound card, sigh :-(
