Hi,

I just reformatted vista. On my prior OS i could get my sound to work even though my soundcard is not compatible with vista. Its a soundblaster live platinum 5.1 which is not supported by vista unfortunatly. However it is possible to still get it working on vista because as i said it worked before i formatted. My computer guy did it for me so i dont how he did but there must be a workaround somewhere to get dated soundcards working on vista...i cant get sound without it.

Live 5.1, sorry to say but there is not and never will be any drivers for it coming from Creative as the card was declared EOL several years ago. Only drivers i know of that work with that series of cards is this,
