Hi,

you said your mainboard has a gameport ?
So maybe it has on-board sound.
Did you disabled the on-board sound before installing the SBLive! ? You can do that in the bios, but before make sure that you removed all drivers from the onboard sound.
Well, I had some problems with the SBLive!, too, it just didn't make DOS sound correctly. I solved this problem by starting the system only with graphics card and the SBLive!, and then installing the others.
Well, changing slots can be helpful, but it has to be the "right" slot. It has to do with IRQ-sharing and busmaster signals.
Well, first try disabling the onboard sound, then we'll see more.
