Maybe New SB Live Drivers available!
I found this on Creative's news server: Quote:The beta version of Windows Update has two Creative Labs drivers updates for SBLive! These drivers actually cannot be normally downloaded. You have to put the windows update application in advanced mode and then access the windows update catalog.

Quote:The beta version of Windows Update has two Creative Labs drivers updates for SBLive! These drivers actually cannot be normally downloaded. You have to put the windows update application in "advanced mode" and then access the "windows update catalog". Then search for "Creative Labs Inc." Two updates will appear. The interesting things are that:1) These drivers actually work in Windows 2000, solving almost all current problems with liveware 3 drivers.
2) Modifying a registry key , 4 speakers output is enabled and , moreover ,digital output is enabled.
Btw: emu10k1f.sys version is 5.12.01.3028
Hope this helps.

F@ck Creative!
After 3 years they finally release half-a$s drivers.
MY Hercules works great and sounds better.
I know everyone doesn't have 150 bones to throw on a sound card, but I encourage you to boycot creative and get a Hercules, Santa Cruz or Philips sound card.
Fu@K Creative,
We all Deserve better

Everything seems A-Ok here. Just installed the SBLIVE drivers a second ago. It looks like these are the latest leaks from Creative. It seems like these drivers play DiVX movies quite well, meaning that the audio coming out seems to be more universally surround, giving that nice EAX-like environment. Download these and you will notice that the gaming environmental sounds included in Quake 3 Arena are more crisp, more concise.
Enjoy! Highly Recommended!

OK I loaded the drivers and everything worked fine. I got the latest liveware and of course it replaced the drivers. So, I updated the drivers with the new ones and I lost all functionality of the liveware. I uninstalled everything and re-installed liveware and everything is working fine but it's using the old drivers. hmm, oh well.
Welp, I'm still not able to set the hardware acceleration to full. But when I do (set acceleration to full) I no longer get repeating sounds, instead some sounds skip much like an old vinyl album.
Something thats been bothering me while reading various SBLive related threads: why is there a faction of board members whom are "religiously adamant" that all the SBLive + Win2k problems are caused by Via chipsets and/or poor quality components? Under Win2k my SBLive refuses to work properly (as advertised) either in my Asus A7Pro or my Abit SE6. However, it works near flawless on both systems under Win98 or WinMe. Why am I incorrect to assume the Win2k drivers are subpar?

yeah you right, officially Via and recently Creative also put their hands up to admitt a bug in their stuff. This so called via bug actually very rarely effects via chipset users. Most Via chipset users and infact any chipset user who experiences problems with the SBLive range of cards simply put it down to the bug when in reality the problems are caused by SHITE drivers by Creative. How long has Win2000 been out now? and they still haven't released decent drivers. Drivers still do not support SMP after this long of waiting. Creatives development team are unequivically at fault on this one.
i have to agree with daedalus, ihave never had any probs with my blaster x-gamer under win2000 everything has always worked and it sounds great. i run it on an msi 6195 amd motherboard with an athlon 600@693(just recently bumped it up from 663 and still sounds great)although i am interested in getting the game theater for my new box i'm going to be building not because creative sux but becuase it'new hardware i havent played with yet:D
