You need to rearrange the cards in your system so that you don't have
cards sharing IRQ's that cannot. Check out
http://lefort.ods.org/mhz.htm to see what the PCI/Irq assignments are
for your board.

Before you buy.

if you're not using your serial ports and parallel port you can disable
them in the bios therby freeing up irq's.  Would be easier than
switching keyboard and mouse.  After that give each device its own irq,
and be aware sblive uses 2 irq's

Thanks to those who responded - I got some very good tips, such as disabling
serial ports and SB16 emulation.

But in the end, it was two things that helped - 1. A slot map for the VIA
1854 (Tyan trinity) motherboard, which I believe took care of USB issue and
guess what - the SB Live card has a back input jack - I plugged the still
inop audio cable from the TV tuner into the CD Input, and guess what the TV
audio worked.  So it's back to CompUSA for a swap.  Oh how I hate talking to
those morons in customer service...
