asus a7v880 SoundMAX and Sb live

#1 (**permalink**) 08-19-2005, 02:16 PM

Hello,
I have an ASUS a7v880 motherboard with SoundMax onboard audio card. After
installation WinXP this card works well, but when I put another sound card
SB live, the onboard card disappears and there is no possibility to use it
(device manager shows only SB Live card).
When I have tried to install software for that card an error accurse - VIA
AC97 Audio Chipset is not enabled on the BIOS - but it is really enabled.
I've changed PCI slots for SB Live but it gives nothing.
What can I do to have possibility to use both cards at the same time?

You can't use both

You would need 2 PCI based sound cards to make it work.
