Hi, I'm not quite sure whether I'm sending this to the right place, but if not, maybe someone can redirect me... I've got a SoundBlaster Audigy 2 card. Three devices are provided by this card: 1) Audio device 2) Gameport 3) Firewire port I've got three PCI Slots (MB: ASUS P4R800-VM). When I plug the card into the PCI slot furthest from the AGP, the card is not recognized at all (lspci lists no devices). When I plug the card into the middle PCI slot, three devices are recognized, but the uame port is listed as an unknown Creative Labs device. When I put the card into the PCI next to AGP port, all devices are recognized correctly, and the gameport is no longer unknown. I've got an nVidia TI4200 graphics card that get quite warm. There's only about 1mm space between the back of the Audigy card and the fan of the graphics card, so the audio card blocks the airflow and the both, audio and video card get quite hot as a result. My question is: Why does the card not work properly in arbitrary PCI slots? I don't think it's a mainboard problem, because the machine otherwise works fine and I had the same effect with other mainboards (due to this issue I swapped the mainboard a couple of times...) If this is not a good place to ask this question, does anyone have a suggestion where else I could try to resolve this issue?
