SB Live! Use windows drivers or Creative drivers?

I have. NET server and an SB Live! should I continue to use the windows drivers or should i mess with the creative drivers. I am using stereo only at this point so are there any features in creatives drivers that really warrant installing them and risking potential instability?.

Unless you want 5.1, I'd stick with the MS reference drivers.

I installed the Creative drivers under .NET simply because I couldn't get the Windows ones to use hardware DirectSound buffers even after I upped the acceleration to maximum. Otherwise, stick with the Windows ones, you'll have fewer headaches that way.
