SB Live 5.1 XP Pro Driver Updates
Hi
Can anyone please tell me if the update posted at SoundBlaster.com for the above drivers makes any difference to the system performance. I have had many problems caused by the drivers for this card and have even had to revert to a standard PC from ACPI. I am loath to install it if the update could perhaps cause me further problems. Thanks a lot. |

Thanks a lot. The drivers on the website have worked fine for me. I use them alone. Sometimes a SB Live's drivers will not be uninstalled properly resulting in a complete reinstall of the oS(unless you are good at cleaning the registry). So in this case it might be worth a shot. My SB 5.1 works great with ACPI, S3 standby...etc. I have mine in PCI slot 2 from the top down. AGP AGP4X Card PCI1 Nothing PCI2 SB 5.1 PCI3 Modem PCI4 3Com NIC PCI5 Hauppauge TV card Matt |
