This is a discussion about Can't rollback to native XP sound driver after installing fa in the Windows Hardware category; Hi there, I should have known better after read the large amounts of complaints that SB Live owners have on using Creative Labs driver updates. I decided to download the latest XP drivers for my SB PCI128 sound card and use them instead of what XP Pro installs natively.

Hi there,
 
I should have known better after read the large
amounts of complaints that SB Live owners have
on using Creative Labs driver updates.
 
I decided to download the latest XP drivers
for my SB PCI128 sound card and use them
instead of what XP Pro installs natively.
 
Bad idea.. choppy sound and poor audio plugin
performance in applications like Fruity Loops 3.4
and Acid Pro 3.0.
 
I now want to return to the native XP drivers
to see if they are any better. Unfortunately
the rollback option under the Hardware Devices
control panel doesn't appear to be working
properly.
 
It just rolls back to the CL drivers!
 
How I can manually install the native XP
drivers?
 
Can I download them from Micrsoft? (I tried
looking at their Coporate Windows update
site but it only supports Windows 2000/NT4)
 
Can I install them manuall from the XP Pro
CDROM?
 
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
 
Regards,
 
Carl Osterly
