"I received an Audigy card for Christmas and was so thrilled to finally replace the 5.1 Live! card. The 5.1 Live! would run ok with the drivers that came with the install cd, but trying to update them, was hit and miss at best. I had the card for about 5 years and it never really worked that well.

"WinXP

SB Live 5.1

The driver claims that i do not have soundblaster installed, and then flushes the *bing* sound through that "not installed" soundblaster (currently using windows generic drivers)."

"Doesn't even recognise my audio card :(

I'm 100% sure I've got the right driver!

I think I better can use the driver from the cd as there are no updates available from Creative's site."

satisfied with the OS. So I installed Windows XP

but I didn't have the driver for XP. So I searched

for it for some time and I found it. It works great for me. Now I can use the soundblaster again."

The computer is an older one I'm trying to refurbish for a friend. The card is a Creative Live! Value I bought a year ago. The New Hardware Wizard allowed me to choose Creative and then selct Live! Value, but it did
