As some of you may be aware, I have an old SAM 440EP which has blown soundchips. So I installed an old Soundblaster Love 128 card on the only slot.
Generally this works well playing video's some games etc. However I find that on IOQuake 3 and Quake 3 executables, the sound stutters/echos/overlays when running the game.
AHI settings appear correct, would appreciate any help to get the sound issue resolved.
Many thanks

No cause is lost if there is but one fool left to fight for it.
@Mikey_C If all else fails, I have a Creative PCI sound card (can't remember which model) that worked fine in my X1000 (well I didn't test Quake on it due to lack of 3D for Radeon HD), which you could test at the next ANT meeting to see if it makes any difference.
Well, the internal graphic card in Sam440 is not the fastest, my guess is that the CPU is too busy handling 3d, the AI and so on, you should check if the CPU is maxed out there are some CPU monitoring tools around on some more correct then others.
As you need the PCI slot for the sound card I don't think there is lot you can do about it. Even with a better graphic card, I think the Sam440 might be bit on the slow side.

sb128 whilst old and low quality do work. SB Lives do not work 100% under amigaos4 (dispite random annecdotal evidence from people who haven't had problems).
As to your stuttering, Quake3 on a SAM is optimistic in the extreme, are your sure it's just not running too slow?
No so hard. Finding one that is supported is. I got one of these but it did not work. Did report my findings to Acube. Would be a good option to support

Quake 3 runs without stuttering on two other Sam440s, albeit using built-in sound chip. (We even tried copying my configuration files over, but for some strange reason that gave no sound at all!)
