Just purchased an x5000!

I have been getting some lock ups from time to time playing videos. Do you think my sound card is also the issue? I thought it was Odyssey for the longest time. I might have to get that Sound Blaster too. '

Congrats on the x5000 by the way. I use mine everyday...

You will like it a lot, but the Sound card you get MAY have the buggy chip on it. The SIIGs he included are good for ony one rev, and you have no way to know if its a bad one or not.

I put in a Soundblaster Live PCI (Model SB0200) I got for $7 and its perfect. MUCH better audio too. Its been playing all day now as of today and not a single issue or lockup as I was getting before.

Does the SBlive Model SB0200 need drivers? Do you just plug and play?
