#4852: The presence of a Soundblaster card causes BSOD. --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: haikuhacker | Owner: nobody Type: bug | Status: reopened Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: - General | Version: R1/alpha1 Resolution: | Keywords: Blockedby: | Platform: All Blocking: | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Comment(by ccipri): Replying to [comment:6 haikuhacker]: > Replying to [comment:5 anevilyak]: > > What he means is to make the ticket summary and/or description more concise. In its current form it's frankly impossible to tell which parts you actually wrote and which parts are randomly copy pasted from the description and/or comments of ticket #3663, and as such it's relatively difficult to tell what the ticket is actually about. > > Haiku fails to boot. The booting process goes fine, until the desktop is supposed to appear, but only the blue background appears and the mouse is frozen, the system can't even be rebooted with ctrl-alt-del. After removing my Soundblaster Card and reinstalling Haiku it boots beyond a dead blue screen. Will I ever be able to use my Soundblaster Live in Haiku? > > Does this copy and paste work for you? if you want to be able to use haiku, but without sound, sound can hold "shift" before boting haiku and chosing from the menu "safe mode". With that option you can boot haiku and then you can delete the link in the folder "hmulti", which points to the driver your soundcard needs. (or you can also delete all links of hmulti, so you are sure, yours is alto deleted.) I have the same problem with my soundcard, see #4491 -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/4852#comment:8> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
