you just answered your question, hehe
 
Default Windows 2000 drivers, eek, don't use them. goto Creative's site and use their drivers, it'll make things better.

Whistler is or will be better than Windows 2000, if you don't think so, get a reality check and hope it doesn't bounce.

hmm...yeah. I noticed that Creative has no drivers for AWE64, you could give those a try, they are NT 4.0, but you never know.

A while ago I had difficulties with my AWE64 Value. I've tried ever driver I've been able to find (Win9x, WinNT4, etc) and have found none to work, and most to generate larger problems. I'm afraid us AWE 64 card users are out of luck.
 
On a side note, I did find that a format and complete reinstall fixed my problem (VERY loud crackling when using a microphone, unusable before the format).

My AWE64 is working even better than it did under windows 98, using the drivers that came with Windows 2000. The sound is the same as before, but now I can get sound from more than one source at once... what this means is that I can play Quake2 and play mp3's at once. Under Windows 98 I had to close Winamp when I started a game, or else I would get an error message telling me that the sound card was already being used.

Guess I could replace it with a sound blaster live, but then creative will forget about that one too after awhile. (driver/software support, not selling you more of them though)

Nevermind, I'm a sucker, went out and bought a SB live platinum to replace it. =(
