SB Live -- Cannot select 5.1 speakers

[Cuc Tu]

I tried selecting this in the creative mixer control and the drop down just does not drop down. I was working a while ago.

I tried setting in control panel and it does let me select 5.1, but after reboot, it goes back to desktop stereo.

I can't find the driver disk now and all the drivers I've DL says they do not detect a SBLive card. I had this install problem right after a fresh format and clean install of XP Pro, but the at that time the disk did install fine. So I've never been able to update the drivers due to the detection problem.

You might want to try removing the device in Control Panel>System along with the drivers in Add/Remove Programs, reboot and see if it finds the card. It sounded like you had the drivers downloaded somewhere to reinstall once Windows would recognize the new hardware...

I originally installed from the disk, but I had downloaded drivers.

Creatives instructions say to only install the LiveDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe if the existing file versions are x...mine were newer so maybe that is why they won't install.

But they also say to only install the LiveDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe if you previously downloaded and installed the first LiveDrvPack.exe.

The first LiveDrvPack.exe cannot be found.

I'm just going to remove the whole thing after I find the disk...I know it's here somewhere...
