Direct Sound in hardware

latkey
I have had both an MX300 and now an SBLive with on my Win2k machine. Neither of them would/will play DirectSound streams from a hardware buffer running the DirectSound test in DXDiag. It runs the software tests and then stops.

How is SBLive! under Win2k?

latkey
Any comments on the performance of SBLive cards under win2k? How are the drivers? Is there full hardware acceleration? Any annoying quirks? I think I'm getting one, and I'm curious about peoples experience with them.

Help with 5.13 and Opengl

jeff
Since I installed the 5. 13 drivers, my opengl doesn't run anymore and if I revert back to older drivers, it doesn't change anything. I'd like to avoid a clean install so does anybody has any idea on any way I could get my opengl back.

5.13 Detonator and OpenGL in Q3A

FyreStorm
After losing a hard disk I recently had to reinstall Win2k. All went well, or so it seemed. I was using the 3. 81 Detonators previously and everything was okay. After the reinstall I used the 3. 81 drivers, but if I tried to change resolutions in any openGL program (from the default 640x480) the program would crash.
