Sound blaster problem

I currently have a sound blaster LS. After a couple minutes of booting the card just quits on me. There would be no audio till I reboot. This is a fresh operating system (xp) that was just installed today. Im thinking that the card is overheating or there is a short somewhere on the card. What should I do?

There are a couple things to try, different/updated drivers or move the card to a different slot. A quick way to tell if it's the card or not would be to put the sound card in a different system and run it for a while.

Doesn't quite sound as bad a problem I had. I once had a Sound Blaster EX on which a capacitor or something actually caught on fire. Lucky it was still under warranty.

therer is a conflict i/o in ur system, it happens some other device is using the same i/o.

solution? differnt pci slots, make sure the slots does nto share with mobo device, is someone say abut winxp/s share irq please do soem research b4 reply, and try this for size, put a pci scsi card in the pci where is share by Scsi, and tell me how it perform!

mobo manual should tell u what pci slots share by what device

I hate Sound Blaster, it always messes up with too many games.
