Okay, here's the thing, my old SoundBlaster PCI 512 card finaly died. I've since picked up a used SoundBlaster Live, unfortunatly it didn't come with a drivers CD. I didn't worry about it to much thinking that Creative would have the nessisary drivers on their website. They don't, atleast not for Windows98. I would like to have a full CD ISO, expecialy for DOS SoundBlaster 16 emulation.

I've downloaded the DOS driver set from DriverGuide (DOSDRV.zip) and the SBLiveDosDrv.zip file found around the net, without satisfactory results; ie. I've only been able to get mono sound out of it. So here's the thing, does anyone have a SoundBlaster Live! Driver CD laying about? I've already tried a SoundBlaster Live!

Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro turns your PC or notebook into a 5.1 entertainment system, featuring SBX Pro Studio technology. Easy to install, it replaces low quality on-board audio with high quality connectivity options. A convenient volume control knob, headphone and microphone inputs for a.

5.1 CD without any luck; all I get is alot of buzzing. I'm going to guess that the Live 24-Bit, Platinum, and Gamer, would be equaly as useless, I just need a plain, old, original Live!

The same thing goes for that 20MB download you're pointing at, nothing but alot of buzzing I'm looking for the plain drivers.

As you can see, they don't offer a full download anymore, just the update. The update Creative currently offers dosen't even detect the card correctly, it wants to assign Media drivers to the game port for some odd reason.

That's why I am looking for a copy of the original CD. It should have the 'Legacy Device' drivers as well as well as the windows drivers (which I have working already). Well, you are lucky! I DO happen to have that CD! It came with my SoundBlaster Live! LS (read: SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 Digital).

The CD reads: SoundBlaster Live! [EDIT]I need to read the posts better before I type useless stuff[/EDIT] It's a real shame that those morons @ Creative don't post any full drivers.But their 'reason' is, that the software is CARDware! So only with a original Creative soundcard you may have the software (and that's why those drivers on the site are only updates.) Well, it's 470MB.I can post it for a while on my site.Or if you have another option, please tell.

Moving from ISA to PCI allowed the card to dispense with onboard memory, storing in the computer's main memory and then accessing them in real time over the bus. This allowed for a much wider selection of, and longer playing, samples.

It also included higher quality sound output at all levels, quadrophonic output, and a new synthesizer with 64 sampled voices. Was introduced in August 1998 and variations on the design remained Creative's primary sound card line into the 2000s. Sound Blaster Live!
