Creative Labs Soundblaster Live card - This PCI-bus card appears to generate so much noise on the PCI-bus that Krystal cannot operate reliably. Trying to run Krystal with a Soundblaster Live card installed and active will typically cause a system bus lock-up within 20 seconds. This requires a power down and reboot to clear. The Krystal PC Board Rev-D artwork has been shipping since 09/96. We added 35 noise suppression parts from Rev-C to D for super reliability. We have never had a problem with any other PCI-bus card. Based on our findings, Soundblaster Live should be removed from the market!
Other Audio Cards - So far, we have not documented any other card that will not work with Krystal. We will post these in this Thread as we discover them. Anyone else using a card successfully or not is encouraged to post their findings.
Motherboards with On-board Audio Functions - We have had some difficulties with the audio drivers for on-board audio on motherboards conflicting with other device drivers (such as ATI 8MB, 16MB and 32MB graphics cards). It is clear that THE MOST UP-TO-DATE driver is required for each device. If it doesn't work, plan on spending much time on the phone and their website to try to get the latest as soon as it is released.
