Have you correctly installed the drivers for your new soundcard? does it show as an available output in Reason (or windows for that matter)?

Sounds like missing ASIO driver to me. What's the new card?

Is that a PCI sound card? I'd recommend a proper audio interface rather than using a PC sound card dude?

Seriously, are you joking? You might be the first person I have ever come across to downgrade their soundcard.


Reason won't be able to use it as it doesn't have a native ASIO driver. Get ASIO4ALL, that should at least get you up and running. Won't fix the heinous, grainy, collapsed, terrible, scabby sound quality of the SBLive5.1, but at least you'll be up and running.

Man.... I thought the days of posting about SB's were long gone!
