I've been fighting to get my SB Live card to work right in this system, and every time I try to load the drivers the system freezes. I've been told this is a common problem with VIA chipsets.

What I need is the original driver CD that came with the card. I know this is a popular card and I was wondering if someone here that has the CD wouldn't mind ISOing or zipping it up for me. I REALLY need to get this working and it would be VERY appreciated.

Thanks.

I have this card.. the problem is there are loads of versions of it.

I have the "SB Live! 5.1 digital bulk edition". If you look on the card itself it has a model mumber. Mine is SB0220, if that's the same as yours i'll send you the cd.

Have you installed the latest VIA chipset drivers from www.viaarena.com ?

It's upgradable, so it isn't Mac. And it's freezing. That just has Windows written all over it.

Mines CT4670, Same as yours but non-5.1 so I don't know if that would work or not.

Yes I've installed the VIA drivers, and I'm in windows, if I were in linux I wouldn't be looking for drivers to use the nicer features of the card because in linux you can't use them.

I have the original disk for the SB LIVE VALUE and here is the disk number:

From DISK.ID on the cd:
SBLV-CDS1D-1-US

Number printed on the CD:
1713330760

However, there were a lot of issues with AMD chips and the original SBLIVE drivers, so it's probably not a good idea to use them

If this is what you need, I can probably ISO them if I can figure out how...

Thanks Brian that would be awesome, if you can't ISO it then a zip of the cd would be fine.

From what I understand there were 2 cds that came with it, one with Win9x drivers and one with win2k drivers. I'm in XP so the win2k is what I need.

Thank you!

NoESC, I bought this sound card before win2k even existed. In fact, it was before ME existed, so the driver disk says: win95/98/nt 4.0. Still interested?
