I/O Conflicts
Conflicts between your audio card and another device may occur if they are set to use the same I/O address. To
resolve I/O conflicts, change the resource settings of your audio card or the conflicting device using Device Manager
in Windows 95/98.
If you still are unable to determine which card is causing the conflict, remove all cards except the audio card and other
essential cards (for example, disk controller and graphics cards). Add each card back until Device Manager indicates
that a conflict has occurred.
To resolve hardware conflicts in Windows 95/98:
1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel window, double-click the System icon.
3. In the System Properties dialog, click the Device Manager tab.
4. Under the Sound, Video And Game Controllers entry, select the conflicting audio card driver—indicated by an
exclamation mark (!)—and click the Properties button.
5. In the Properties dialog, click the Resources tab.
6. Select Use Automatic Settings and click the OK button.
7. Restart your computer to allow Windows 95/98 to reassign resources to the devices.
Windows NT 4.0
A Service Control Manager error message appears with one or more other error messages at restart.
This occurs when you remove an audio card from your computer after successfully installing Sound Blaster Live!
Value. Windows is trying to match the drivers to the removed audio card.
To solve this problem:
1. Log on to your computer as Administrator.
2. Click the Start button, select Settings, and then click Control Panel.
3. Double-click the Multimedia icon, and then click the Devices tab.
4. Under the Audio Devices and MIDI Devices And Instruments headings, delete all devices
except:
• Audio for Creative SB Live!
• MIDI for Creative SB Live!
• MIDI for Creative S/W Synth
5. Click the OK button to close the dialog. The unneeded drivers are removed.

Troubleshooting section in the
Help file of Windows 95/98.
