Release Notes: IMPORTANT: Driver uninstall on Windows Vista or later The included driver for Windows Vista or later has a bug that causes a stop (blue screen) error when unloaded by disabling the Audigy or uninstalling the driver. To workaround this issue, run the KillDrv.exe utility included and restart when asked to do so. Proceed normally and uninstall all the software or only the driver. If you have previously installed the Audigy 5/RX driver, you MUST run this utility. As the KillDrv verify the driver version installed, running it won't do any harm, even if the driver version is not affected. WINDOWS 8.1 UPDATE 1 DOES NOT SAVE SETTINGS - Configure all settings and shutdown. Your settings will be saved. - This does not work if you disable Fast startup permanently or temporarily (by holding the Shift key while shutting down). OpenAL 2D benchmark in RightMark 3DSound crashes your system The included driver for Windows Vista or later has a bug that crashes your system if you run the OpenAL 2D benchmark using 63 buffers. No problem With 62 or fewer buffers. OpenAL 3D and OpenAL 3D + EAX benchmarks are not affected. Details: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (0x000000D1) - ctoss2k.sys There is no DirectSound hardware acceleration on Windows XP 64-bit (x64) with 4GB RAM or more The Audigy driver does not support 64-bit addressing, disabling the DirectSound hardware acceleration and causing multichannel sound to be played only in the stereo channels (front left/right). Workarounds: - install the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows XP. - limit to less than 4GB the amount of RAM available to Windows. - enable the "Memory Hole" setting in the BIOS Setup, if your motherboard supports it. - install and use Creative ALchemy to convert the DirectSound API calls into OpenAL, which is not affected by this issue. Karaoke effects make the audio play in mono On Windows XP you can avoid this issue by using EAX Console to enable Karaoke effects. Audio Console is affected by the issue. On Windows Vista and later, follow the steps below. Open EAX Settings, select a Karaoke effect, then click the Edit button. Click on the Source (Wave) tab and change the Original sound to 100% and Pitch Shift to 0%. Click the Save environment button. Repeat the steps for all Karaoke effects. These changes will be valid only for the current speaker configuration. If desired, repeat the same process for each speaker configuration. Using other devices to output the DDL or DTS Interactive encoded audio Only for Windows Vista or later, you can use any "SPDIF/HDMI Out" from HD Audio, PCI or USB device to output 5.1 encoded audio.

Hello, I looked for a very long time and tried to install different pilot for my Sound Blaster Live card! 24-bit but each time a window says that there was no device for this installation. I would like you to help me get the right driver. I use Windows XP 64-bit. Here are the material identification numbers: PCI \ Ven_1102 & Dev_0007 & Subsys_10061102 & Rev_00 PCI \ Ven_1102 & Dev_0007 & Subsys_10061102 PCI \ VEN_1102 & DEV_0007 & CC_040100 PCI \ Ven_1102 & Dev_0007 & CC_0401 Device instance identification number: PCI \ VEN_1102 & DEV_0007 & SUBSYS_10061102 & REV_00 \ 4 & 34079B1D & 0 & 00F0 Thank you in advance for your answer as quickly as possible. Yours. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the soundblaster live never got supported XP64 drivers, they were a last minute unsupported build that were basically shipped with "you get what you get" mentality. Please don't put spaces into device strings, its annoying.
Maybe there was never a driver for the XP 64-bit version, but 2 days ago I saw a page on this site that I can't find anymore {it looks like she was removed} where a member of the forum told someone who had the same problem as me to copy here the material identification number and that he would find him the right driver or that he would modify one to work . The other copied his Material Identification Numbers, and then after receiving the driver said that it worked. So I thought that I would also have the chance to receive this same kind of help me too by immediately copying my Material Identification Numbers. If someone or this same person who had done it can do this service to me, I would appreciate greatly .
Hello I found the solution finally, I started by installing the driver in the device manager from the decompressed archive <20061839_1b2a534dc490db6d ... 308d38.cab> found on the site https://www.driverridentifier.com.com /Scan/Sound-Blaster-Live-24-Bit-Driver/Download/298465552/6B5CB1309E2C453596DE50A824749CA4/PCI/VEN_1102%26DEV_0007%26SUBSYS_10061102. Then, I installed the driver and media source from the CD that I had since the purchase of the Sound Blaster Live card! 24-bit. Then, I installed SB24_VTDRV_LB_1_04_0077.exe found on the site mentioned above. Then, I installed basicaudio_pcapp_1_00_03.exe found on https://support.creative.com/downloads/welcome.aspx And everything works perfectly ! So thank you anyway and sorry for the inconvenience.
