hello!
First, thank you to everyone who encouraged me as I built my new computer. I LOVE THIS THING. I have all the settings on high, and I was the 5th person to finish loading.
I do have a slight problem. I've always used two soundcards, one for my sound effects/music, and one strictly for a headset. I use Ventrillo, and to avoid having gameplay sounds coming through my headset, I got a second soundcard just for VOIP.
it's a cheapy: SBT-SP6C
The problem is, my computer sees it but can't plugnplay it. So I dug up the disc with the drivers, and every time I do the following sequence of events occurs.
1 - I suddenly lose my internet connection
2 - the setup dialogue will freeze up as it is trying to install the file cmunist.da (or something similar looking)
3 - my computer will abruptly reboot
4 - my computer will freeze up while loading windows and I need to restart "using last known configuration to work"
I read more carefully into the specs of the soundcard, and I think the reason is, my new computer has an AMD processor, and this soundcard requires Intel architecture CPU with MMX instruction set
Could that be the reason why? and is there any way around this or do I really seriously have to stupid buy a stupid new sound card.
OR
is there a way to use the integrated sound so that I can still segregate gameplay from VOIP? my motherboard is ASUS A8N-SLI Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard
