P3BF+SB Live 5.1
Hi everybody,
I have some problem to install a SoundBlaster Live 5.1 (eom) on a P3BF rev 1.04. Windows 2000 see the new device at startup, but when I launch the installer of the driver (download on Creative Lab of course) he say that I have NO Soundblaster (I swear I have one...). Any ideas ??? Thanks a lot |

Any ideas ??? Which PCI slot is the card in, and what does that share a PCI INT with (routing table in the manual)? Creative cards can be picky there.

Stephan It's also possible that the original software install CD is required - Creative is extremely picky about this, only allowing updates to be made available from their website. Which require the original software/drivers be installed, of course. I'm sure they'd let you purchase a CD from them, but an easier way might be to find someone with an SB Live! 5.1 CD and borrow it. -Slash -- "Ebert Victorious" -The Onion |

If I remember correctly, the Creative Labs Package won't install
properly over the WDM drivers that Windows puts in automatically. To get it sorted out you must first remove any drivers listed in the Device Manager. Then remove any Blaster software you have installed before and power down the system. Remove the card and restart the PC to clean out all the stuff and then shut down. Replace the card and boot into "Safe Mode". You should then be able to run the installer and when it asks for restart at the end do things normally. All should be well then. Let me know if this helps.
