LOL when I started reading your reply I was going to say check out DanielK but you already know about him. There is a thread here where someone got their creative sound card to work, but to be honest I don't think they got all the high end features working that you and I expect out of a sound card.

That may sound arrogant, but it's true. I'm a former musician. I had the original digital sound keyboard (yamaha DX7) and paid a buttload of money for it because it WAS that good. For years I did not have a stereo because I could not afford a good one and wouldn't waste money on crappy sound. I have a creative soundcard in my XP machine to go with my 5.1 speakers and it sounds GREAT. The features work and work well. Oh well.

Sorry, you obviously knew what I posted before so my post was useless to you. I'll shut up now and maybe someone else can help you. I rather doubt it though if your DanielK drivers did not give you what you wanted. It's a shame Creative decided to go down this path.
