Re: Creative SB Live! 5.1
It was working before , and shows in device manager ? I'v read some of your posts in Gamesworld do you have onboard sound as well ? Delete Sound Blaster
from Device Manager , reboot let windows reinstall it and have drivers ready .
If that does work try the card in anouther slot .
Drivers : http://ca.creative.com/support/downloads/
Re: Creative SB Live! 5.1
yeh i have 'realtek' as my onboard sound, could this be conflicting? i meant to say that the drivers provided with the soundcard (on cd) DO work but i cannot install drivers from the creative website and i think i need to install the updated drivers to stop my games crashing and crackling.
Re: Creative SB Live! 5.1
If the on board sound is disabled , you can update drivers for SB thru Device Manager . Click on update driver and when prompted, point to the file with the update .

If you point it to the file then it will update from that file. Not from Windows update.
