Is it possible to use this card (Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Digital SB0220) on a computer running Windows 7 32-bit build 7100? If it will, work can someone please provide a link to the driver? I've been searching with Google & Bing for the last hour and I should have probably come here first.
Windows ver.: Windows 7 32-bit build 7100
Main Board: Gigabyte M1689D
RAM: 1024 mb
Processor: 1.60 gigahertz AMD Pentium 4
Sound card: Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Digital SB0220
Thanks in advance,
Chris
I have exactly the same card and the same problem. Could you please provide me with link to the driver that helped you? I didn't find vista driver for this card on Creative site.Thanks, that worked. I had to manually install the driver. The setup program didn't work.
I've finally found a way to use this sound card on my win 7 x86 (up to date). The first driver I found to work is Daniel K's driver, but this one has a small problem: u can't use more then 2GB of memory(or you'll get BSOD). You can find this one by searching on google "creative daniel k". The second one I found to work is kxdrv3550-x86-full, from KX ofcourse(google "KX project"). Just to be on the safe side I installed the Kx driver when I had 2GB of ram and after the install I added the rest of the ram. Now it works well with more then 2GB of ram. I'm not sure if Daniel K driver works if u add more ram after you install it. Again, don't know if this had any influence but I first had the daniel K driver installed and then I installed the KX driver without uninstalling daniel K driver .
So to make it simple this were my steps:
1. Removed RAM until I had left 2gb
2. Installed Daniel K driver (vers 1.5 google it)
3. Installed Kx driver (3550-x86 google it)
4. Added the rest of the RAM.
5. Soundcard works good with more the 2GB of RAM on WIN 7 x86
If you have kx driver and you don't get 5.1 sound go to control panel -> sounds -> chose "SPDIF/AC3 Output -> press Set as Default
