Hi,
you helped me a while ago to get my sb live to work with Teamspeak + Game.
Thanks again for that. But - as I am an active supporter/helper on the
TeamSpeak lists im running into troubles from time to time - would be great
if you could tell me how to fix them :o).
The Thing is: Many people come and say quake hangs at sound initalisation -
for emu10k1 cards your trick works - but it doesnt seem to work for SB-128 ?
Why is that ? And how could I find out that this trick wouldnt work on this
card ?
Also - what can you do if this trick fails ? Im supporting guys with various
soundcards, would be cool if you told me how to find out the capabilities of
the driver and howto give a "works: this way" or "doesnt work" answer to the
questions comming in....
Hope you can help me again =)
