Hi All

I have just been given a sound blaster live! 5.1 sound card made by creative

unfortunately it didnt come with the driver installation cd and i was wondering if there was anywhere on the new where i could download some drivers to get it up and running

all the drivers on the creative site are updates and dont want to install!

Many thanks

Nick

Yup, unfortunately it's not available on Creative's site!

You can however, get it here.

Hey

Many thanks for the reply

i am now having the following problem!

i have an ABIT AN7 motherboard
AMD 3200
1Gb DDR RAM
ATI Radeon X800 graphics card
Onboard LAN
Onboard sound - now disabled in the bios

the motherboard uses the N-Force 2 Chipset

I have inserted the Sound blaster Live! card into a PCI slot ( i do not have ANY other PCi devices in the system)

it now says there is a resource conflict and the sound card will not work although the drivers are installed

whats going on? i only have my AGP graphics card and the PCI sound blaster live card as plug in cards running!!

Thanks

Nick

which PCI slot did you use? Don't use the one next to your AGP slot (in case that is the one you used).
also which OS are you using?
