After i restarted my PC completely, everything was back up again and i thought maybe it was just a random thing, so i again opened the sound settings, but still the same issue. And the soundcard did not output any sound after i opened the Windows Sounds Settings. I restarted SBC but it still froze after a few seconds. and then both the windows settings and SBC froze for 2 seconds (without changing the source, just opening the options) and afterwards it was unresponsive and shortly later SBC crashed. Then i wanted to Test the difference between on board sound (I should probably mention that i use the External Audio Controller instead of and the Card so i replugged my headset into the frontpanel, went in the Windows Sounds settings to change the source. The headset is really not made for great sound, so i didn't expected something and just tested out the Sound Blaster Command Software for the Sound Card. The Headphones are still on their way, but today i received the AE7 and installed and tested it with my old headset. I wanted to get started with better audio quality and a friend of mine recommended me the SB AE7 and gave me an Input for a good high impedance headphone. Windows & has a mixer that I use, nit the greatest, but i have nice 5.TL DR: When i open Windows Sound Settings, SCB shuts down and i have no sound output from the card anymore. I tried loading the mixer, but it wouldn't work.

Loaded the drivers and had music before I even had to reboot. I ran it and when it came up and asked what I wanted to install, I only checked Load Drivers just to see what would happen. 3.) Then a little lower on the page I checked Run As Administrator. 2) Before I ran it, I right clicked on it and under the compatibility mode I changed whatever it was to compatibility for Win XP Service Pack3.

1) Went to Creative and downloaded the driver package as I had probably thrown mine away. I can even use my keyboard controls with it. I have great sound from my SB Live card and Logitec 5.1 speakers. It didn't work for me, but my own variation worked. I found a guy that said to try some things using the Creative drivers. I decided to more searching for a compatible driver for my SB Live! 5.1. I was about to give up and shop for a Win7 compatible card. I messed with it off and loading and reloading with no luck. It worked great for about a year then, I started getting muffled sound and lost my rear speaker sound.

I did install a program KX Audio driver that was a free generic driver for the SB card. I did some searches for help with no luck. When I made the move to Win7, I discovered I couldn't use the Creative software and the drivers. Probably late but hopefully this will help others with SB Live problems. Anyone know what I can do? If I have no luck with the Live! card, can someone suggest a $25 or lower price 7.1 capable card that they consider good? New or used is fine. Does anyone know what I can do to get the computer to recognize the card? I've used this site () to try to get a better understanding of what's going on, but I've had no revelations yet. Just got an old Creative Sound Blaster Live! from a friend, and I'm looking to use it instead of my fuzzy onboard Realtek audio.
