Eduard;
On the link Dev gave, it is listed as "No development planned." However I have Sound Blaster Live Gamer 5.1 and all the recent builds I have tried including RC-1, RC-2 and RTM work fine with the Vista native drivers. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org "Eduard Wustenveld" wrote in message ...

Hi Eduard,
You'll need to head over to KXProject Forums to download their driver. Creative have stated that they will not support the Live! Series of cards anymore, and so that means no vista support. These drivers however, will work: Works with every series of sblive with full 5.1/6.1/7.1/AC3/SPDIF http://download.kxproject.lugosoft.c...3538l-full.exe no control pannel yet but you can configure all the sound properties by righ clicking on the KX icon in the taskbar(next to the clock)-effects-surrounder+ then setup your preffered settings! works perfectly for me.

The native Vista drivers work with my card.
I have the same or similar card as the OP so it is probably not necessary to go anywhere for the drivers. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org "Pete" wrote in message ...

No but I would get the kx drivers. Nice assortment of things you can do
with your soundcard. "Jupiter Jones [MVP]" wrote in message ... The native Vista drivers work with my card.
