Creative labs SB live 5.1 - vista troubles

[TechMouse]

Have you tried the kxProject drivers?

Dunno if they're supported on Vista, but they used to work great on XP.

[C.O.Prodigy]

nope. I'll give'em a go. Thanks TM.

The whole point of this is to listen to some proper music while at work...

[C.O.Prodigy]

Tried them... everything seems to be working perfectly but there's no sound coming from my speaker... shame really cause the installation went very well.. the kx project drivers did overwrite the previous drivers and after the reboot the kxproject drivers was in use.. but no sound coming from speaker *frustrated*

Bring up the kxMixer and check that nothing is muted.

I think there's also some option which swaps the back and front speakers - this sometimes helps.

It's a bit fiddly, but once you get it working it's great.

Plus, full ASIO support!

your assessment was spot on, the swap back worked and it probably was muted since I played around with it.. but it's working much better now then before with these new drivers... I kinda now have this echoie feel to the sound now which is much better then scratchy no bass sound.. but I will continue to fiddle with the settings to get it right...

thanks for all the help..
you solved my problem

You may have a reverb effect turned on.

As I recall there are built in effects.

Even so, glad you got it working.

The SB Live! is a pretty good card once you tap its potential.

I'm really impressed with these drivers now.. the sound can be manipulated in many ways.. and all while i'm at work.. this is huge stuff for me ... mucho happy
