Hi I am about to buy a new computer and I was wondering if someone could answer a question for me Do soundfonts only work with SoundBlaster cards. The PC I am currently looking at has a Hercules Digifire 7.1 card but I want to know if it is compatible with my vast collection of sound fonts that I...

Progress: I have moved the soundblaster live Digital Entertainment card(SB0100) to PCI slot 4. In order for the card to get a unique IRQ in Windows XP, I had to disable the onboard USB hub (because it seems that in Dell computers, IRQ sharing HAS to happen and PCI slot 4 shares with USB). Now the...

I've recently reinstalled Windows XP SP1 but now neither LiveDrive IR nor digital-out (rear of card) work anymore. Sound works fine but nothing comes out from the LiveDrive outputs, except backplate outputs apart from the digital-out. I've tried reinstalling drivers, using XP built-in drivers,...

Hi. I've been trying to figure out how to have my speakers and my headphones plugged in at the same time. My speakers are Cambridge SoundWorks, so these take both the front and rear outputs. As I've got no where to plug my headphones, I was wondering if there is a way that I can connect my case...

Hey gamers. First I had huge problems getting my SB Live to play nice with BF2. Ended up having to copy some updated opengl sound dll file into my BF2 directory. Now I get the fancy EAX sounds but still get occasional freezes when I get whacked by a lound explosion near me. Now it was off to...

Which gives better sound for gaming: SB Live 5.1 Digital or the onboard Realtek 850? Seems like some games really don't like to use the SB Live series especially if hardware rendering is enabled. BigSky

here's a dumb question: Why doesn't my microphone work? Im using a soundblaster live value card and have a microphone plugged in to the proper input. In volume and recording controls I have made sure that the mic is not muted. I have tried a second microphone just to make sure. Im sure there is...

http://www.americas.creative.com/support/files/download2.asp?centric=108&maincat=11&os=10&subcat=16 scroll to very near the bottom of the page, and download the driver first, and then the patch. The menus can be very frustrating, you just have to stick with it. (and have a beer handy) -- Good...

Ever since I installed an OEM SB Live Value! 5.1, I noticed my system boots up much slower + I have to disable UDMA on my hard drive to eliminate crackles/pops in the sound. I heard that the 5.1 Live is a "bus hog." Is the slow bootup a result of this? Are the Audigy cards any better?

My SB Live Value uses the I/O Addresses D000-D01F. This seems to work allright with Win XP. But it dosn't function with DOS 6.2 (I have Win XP, Win Me, DOS 6.2 and Linux on my computer - and BootMagic!). My DOS 6.2 programs insist that the I/O Address should be 220. But I can't change the I/O...

Anytime I try to run something in DOS mode, I get no sound. I've checked the knowledge base, but it does not apply to me as I do not have a DOSDRV subfolder anywhere in ProgramFiles\Creative. I've tried reinstalling off the CD and downloading off the internet, but it never gives me that folder or...

I just realaced my on board sound with a live value from an old machine. When I play Unreal Tournment the character voices ("Loser, Die Bitch etc.") are very garbled, the sound effects and the music are fine. I'm running XP. No trouble at all installing. Current driver ver is 5.1.2535.0. Any...

I'm a compleet idiot so please make follow-up postings appropriate for a dummy. Really. I've got a new Audigy 2 ZS Platinum in my box and want to output to a receiver/amp. Haven't yet purchased the receiver/amp. Question 1: Please tell me if this is possible. Question 2: If possible, exactly...

I appologise if the question's been asked before but, is there a simple way to get the connections from a SB5.1 Live card to the front of the PC? After market 5.25inch fitting? DIY fitting? Any advice would be welcome. Thanks Bob Z

I did get a response from Creative saying that the chips to enable encoding for surround on sound cards has just recently been made affordable and fast enough to add on to cards. The big question is has anyone got any information on when there next card is coming out and if it will have such...

Are there any forums that Creative actually reads?

Hello, Any word on Creative Labs next gaming PC sound card? I noticed the review on Tom's Hardware of the EMU from creative labs with sports full standard optical connectors. I would love to hook up my PC to my preamp and get full surround out. I currently have the Audigy 2ZS which does not...
