Additional Notes

This is for the Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Digital sound card (OEM) that Creative Labs dont support on their website. I couldnt find the drivers on the internet but I ended up finding my installation CD and I know a lot of people have trouble finding these drivers. These drivers will work when other Creative Labs drivers say "could not detect any sound blaster card in your system".

"I was in search for a working driver for this card. A CD came with my card, too. But the driver on that is not working. So after kx drivers... Many this and many that... I found this plain driver and it works just out of the box. You are my hero!"

How to Install a driver from Device Manager

  1. Locate the device and model that is having the issue and double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  2. Select the Driver tab.

  3. Click the Update Driver button and follow the instructions.

In most cases, you will need to reboot your computer in order for the driver update to take effect.

Tech Tip: Driver downloads and updates come in a variety of file formats with different file extensions. For example, you may have downloaded an EXE, INF, ZIP, or SYS file. Each file type has a slighty different installation procedure to follow.
