the game can be loaded after this but with no sound.

Did you get the Sound Blaster Live! Waveset file and put it in C:\sblive?
What exactly is the error message you're getting? What resources is the sound card set to use?
If you have an older motherboard, the card may be affected by the slot it's sitting in. Shouldn't be an issue for a 440LX or newer board. Check your BIOS to be sure the PCI IRQs aren't pre-set.

I had the same problem, however going into the BIOS and setting "Assign IRQ to USB" to OFF fixed it for me.
