"My neighbor's onboard sound quit working & Vista said it WAS working, no problems. After half an hour of trying to get sound out of it, I put the SB0220 card in, which Vista did not set up (surprise). Tried this one, worked perfectly. Installed easily, I'm grateful to the uploader. : )"

"Although this driver didn't install properly for me under WinXPSP2, it did install ok under Win98SE and Win95OSR2.

The windows installs were of secondary interest as I'm mainly running GNU/Linux, where the SB Live!5.1 SB0220 is well supported providing one finds and loads the soundfont."

I still get the message, there is no soundblaster audigy card found on your system.
