SBLive! Help on XP

I used to use Windows 2000 and had it set up to use my two desktop speakers, plus the two sony speakers I have connected thru a reciever. Now no matter what layout of speakers for Windows XP, it only plays the desktop speakers and nothing else.

The build in SBLive drivers for XP from Microsoft are a piece of crap.
 
Try these drivers here:
 
5.12.01.3507 SBLive! WDM
 
After installing them I got sound out of all my 4 speakers from the 4point surround system for my SBLive
 
De-install the drivers that originally came with Microsoft, install the new drivers and your problem should be solved.
 
Good luck
