thanks for the replies. I am new and I appreciate the thought; been setting up my old p4 as a duel boot computer for 98 and xp. Got everything working but got some sound issues so I have been trying to fix them. Mainly the pc speaker (MIDI) is really quiet for some reason and the card doesnt play dos sounds. Submix I have a SB0100 so its the Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 (idk what "HKLM/ENUM/PCI" -or- "HKLM/ENUM/ISAPNP" means but its a PCI card)
