I\'ve got a SB AWE 64 for free. Now i\'ve installed it with the latest drivers on windows ME. The problem i\'m getting is this in the SYSTEM PROPERTIES.

This device is not working properly because the BIOS in the device is reporting the resources for the device incorrectly (Code 9.)

Contact the device manufacturer to get an updated BIOS for
your device.
I can\'t find a BIOS update for the card ANYWHERE.. Has anyone had this problem. If so, How did you fix it, if you did?

Shoddy bulky windows ME is known to have problems with devices. You MUST reinstall your sound card software. You should have stuck with windows 98. You can\'t even boot into DOS with ME!

But x-box should be good.

What kind of sound card did you before you installed this one.It may be that there\'s still a bit of drivers from the old card intefering with the new ones.
A lot of ppl who are upgrading from a 3Dfx vid cards to nVidia\'s or others get similar problems as you are experiencing with your Sound card.
You could do a search for the old ones,or reinstall WinME.

Get the updated Bios and burn it into the card. You should be able to do this off the manufactures web site. I\'ve burned new Bios\'s into my Riva TNT card with no problems
