/sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' /> It intstalls fine and Windows says its working properly, but no sound is coming out. I\'ve disabled the on-board sound, tried unistalling it and reinstalling w/ both the drivers cd included and the ones from the website.Still no sound. I heard soundblaster cards aren\'t very compatible w/ AMD processors or motherboards

1) Install software from the LiveWare CD.
2) Uninstall your SB Live \"Windows driver ONLY\" by going to Add/Remove programs.
3) Install latest Win2k driver from Creative website.
4) Reboot system and your audio should work perfectly.

open the play control and go to the additional properties, there is the checkbox \"digital output only\" and remove the tick in this box.
i hope this solves your problem

Make sure to get the drivers that are for the Live! Value card and not the ones for the Live! 5.1, etc... I had this problem, too. I have both cards (5.1 in my machine, Value in my wife\'s machine). I had to delete all of the Creative drivers from the machine, reboot, then reinstall the correct drivers, reboot, then all worked fine.
If you don\'t delete the drivers, installing the correct ones won\'t work!!!!!

After repeated REMOVING and REINSTALLING I finally
got the Creative SBLive WDM driver to run. However,
it is a poor driver compared to the driver for their new
AUDIGY, which also works with SBLive ! Audio latency
is way down now and ASIO is supported !!

(System: Tbird 900, Epox 8kta board, SB Live Value)
I re-installed Win2k and the SBLive drivers...checks out in system ok but no sound!
Un-installed, re-installed, tried everything mentioned above.
Finally was able to fix it by dropping the SBLive down 1 PCI slot. I rebooted win2k w/o the SB Live in. The rebooted with it in the new PCI slot and voila it autodetected and set it up and it worked. Then I installed the SB Live drivers and all is finally well

The sound card works fine, but I am unable yo use the Live!ware software. (No, not the win98 version, but win2k).
Whic I don\'t think is to much of a problem.
I have contacted creative and gateway over this, with not much luck.

2K & XP run on the same drivers, so I would guess that it\'s driver related, have you tried resetting the drivers to the 2k default ones ?
you can also try getting the latest drivers from creative that may work!
Also check that the drivers you are running for you mother board are the lastest ones avalible, intel usally hide these on there website saying they are only for system developers.

Can you Please explain in some detail?

with a VIA chipset.
There is a issue with Via chipsets, SP2, and SB Live software.
I had to get the CD from SB (after waiting 3 months and 4 phone calls) for the full software. SB doesn\'t have the full software on the sit anymore because of its size and their server couldn\'t handle the requests any more (direct from SB).
You have to install the Via patch in the right order and again after installing some driver software. See Via\'s site for the details:
http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=3&faq=7&Search=install (http://\"http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=3&faq=7&Search=install\")
Question:
I am having trouble with a system using a VIA chipset including a 686b southbridge and a Creative Sound Blaster Live card.
Answer:
When the 686b southbridge was first released, motherboard manufacturers and VIA discovered a problem when trying to transfer files between the primary and the secondary IDE channels on motherboards using ultra-DMA, when a Sound Blaster Live was plugged in and drivers activated. This issue was caused because too much noise is transferred across the PCI bus by the Sound Blaster Live driver set. In an attempt to fix this issue, some motherboard manufacturers modified their BIOS. In some instances, these modifications to the BIOS caused a data corruption error even when not using a Sound Blaster Live. VIA released a patch which resolves this issue, which is incoroporated in the 4in1 drivers from the 4.31 version onwards. Motherboard manufacturers were advised to change the modifications made to thier BIOS to elimate the data corruption issue. If you are experiencing data corruption or lock up when transferring files between two IDE drives: 1) Make sure you have the latest BIOS from your motherboard manufacturer. 2) Make sure you have the latest 4in1 drivers 3) Make sure when you set up your system that you install the 4in1 drivers both before and after you install the SBL to make sure that the drivers see your SBL and install the correct patch. The patch will only install if the SBL is installed
