Creative SB Live 5.1 Surround on Vista 32

Hi,
I got a small problem where i can't find the answer for (i've been searching for ages on Google for drivers). I bought the creative sb live 5. surround but it doesn't seems to work on my laptop (dell studio 537 with windows vista home premium 32bit). I downloaded all kind of drivers for the soundcard but had no success so far. When i play music i only hear sound out of the 2 front speakers, and the subwoofer is working too. When i try to change the sound options in vista to 5. surround settings i can hear sound out of all the speakers (but only in that option menu). Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

This card was never meant to work in Vista however we had a person on here compile some drivers that worked but I'm not sure on 5.
You need this thread....drivers are here.
Wow 406 downloads and no one can bve bothered to reply.
There may be other drivers, but Daniel_Ks worked for me in stereo.

Okay, I did my best searching and I couldn't find anything that matched all your descriptors. I did do a search on both decoder numbers. SB0256 returned very little results, but with SB0466, I was able to find this ebay listing:

This card isn't a Champion like you suggested. And with my complete lack of knowledge, I don't know what I/O dri've bay means. But since it is PCI and the decoder matches the number you gave me, this card should be adequete, right?
Whether it works or not, my search indicated it might be very hard for me to find that card (or any PCI card for that matter). Everything I saw was out of stock. I know this is a forum for Creative, but are there any other manufacturers that will allow me to accomplish my goal, either with current cards, or discontinued cards? Thanks again
Oh, and I will vote on that thread. I probably won't wait for them to release the decoder since I need it now, but I still believe Creative should be giving the customer what they want

Can applications in Creative Cloud be installed on a Windows Vista operating system?

Can applications in Creative Cloud be installed on a Windows Vista operating system?

Your question is answered on the Adobe website on each individual product's page.
Bottom line is that, no, Vista is not a supported operating system for CS6 applications.
All support Windows 7 and Windows 8. Some support Windows XP to varying degrees.
None officially support Vista but some users have reported success in running them on Vista.
Your best option may be to download the Master Collection CS6 Trial and see how it performs for you.

2009, Support for Soundblater Live! 24bit External for Vista and Alchemy

Hey i recently picked up a soundblaster li've! 24 bit external for my laptop running vista32, went to creative website and downloaded the newest 2009 beta drivers for it, and noticed all the features are missing that would usually be there for XP such as volume, EQ, Bass boost etc, and obviously there is no EAX support for vista...
So i tried using Alchemy .008 Uni'versal and although i could add games such as Warcraft 3 to the list the EAX still didn't work in-game.
Are there any 3rd party drivers or programs i could use to make full use of this card?
Any help would be appreciated,
Cheers.

I bought a USB external Surround 5. last week which had a Creative Labs sticker on it saying "Vista Ready - go to www.creative.com to download drivers". Yet having done so I discover that most of the features on the box do not work.
I want it for 5. sound and soundfonts - but both these are missing. If these are not going to be supported (and soon!) please can Creative confirm this. Then I will take it back to the shop (PCWorld UK) and advise them that is DOES NOT DO what it says on the box. I will tell them that they should peel the stickers off - because it is clearly not true that it is Vista ready!Message Edited by markburleigh on 04-27-200704:38 PM

Live! 24bit external and vista surrou

The built in drivers for vista are fine, and the one from?creative is also fine for this li've! 24bit external except it didn't have?CMSS. Is there anyway to at least let the sound come from all my speakers when i play stereo sources? I understand there wont be true 5. anymore but well at least something coming from the rear speakers?P.S it worked fine when i play 5.dvd sources?

Well for now, I guess you'll just have to wait for the new drivers with CMSS to be released. The current workaround to install the XP drivers will give you surround sound (not discreet 5.), but that's the best you can get. I'm using the Li've! 24bit external as well, and I've been refreshing the driver page for Li've! 24bit external daily hoping that it'll appear soon... But sigh~

Creative MP3 Players Zen V Plus with vista 64 bits

Hi... I really need help... I just bougth a new computer with vista home edition 64 bits. But my mp3 does not work with vista. I cannot use the Creative Media Explorer because the program is not associated with any other program.
Does anyone knows how I can install my mp3 correctly... without problems...
I send a message to the technical services but anything to do... I do not understand what they say...
If you can answer me in french... il will be more easy for me...
Thanks to everyone and happy new year 200.

This sounds similar to another thread I read here. I think the answer is to uninstall WMP (rollback to WMP0) and then reinstall WMP. I think there may have been something else you need to do as well.
I'll see if I can find the thread for you.

Creative inspire t6300 5.1 surround on mac pro 1.1, optical out to 5.1 audio gear (digital sound decoder).

Hi there,
Been searching and trying a lot but no luck so far. I have a surroundset Creative Inspire t6300
to be able to add some more fun to movies and a few games on my mac.
I own an upgraded Mac Pro 1.1 under Snow leopard, 2.33 gHz, dual processor, 8 core, 8 gb memory.
Even though it`s a piece for the museum, it works very well for designwork I do for work. No real need
to update for me, so....
As I understand, the optical out is standard 5.1. (By the way, the only other ports are the basic sound ports out
and in on the Mac). So after some research I found and got the 5.1 audio gear decoder. I connected this with
an opticle cable and used the 3,5 jackets from the surroundset to connect to (from left to right) cen/sw, (yellow
jacket) fl/fr (green jacket), sl/sr (black jacket) on the decoder. All perfectly understandable and it seemed to work well.
But when I tested with some of the testfile you find when googling on that, I think there is something wrong,
the typical surround effect is not there, it rather sounds more like stereo or even 5 mono`s.
I`ve tried Soundflower and JackPilot, but couldn`t get it right. With Soundflower I was able to choose 5.1 setting
(was not possible before) but testing it didn`t work.
There is an extensive test of the decoder on the net by someone who really is deep into the technics of it all but
no luck there either.
Back to basics: is it right that the optical out is truely 5.1 on the mac? With several tests the unit SFE does not react.
But when I play some music with iTunes, it works (loud and clearly :-)). Maybe I need a visit to the audiologist ;-) ?
Anyone?

Hello John, I figured it was a signal issue. All the speakers fire and the sound is great. I was running the speakers thru a Dell PC with a Creative X-Fi Elite Pro, THX Certified, 7.1 soundcard using a fiber optic from the Mac Pro to the Z906's, it worked great until the Dell died!!! When I bought the soundcard from Creative I also bought the GigaWorks S750, THX Certified, 700 watt, 7.1 speaker system, used the speakers for 11 years and then the woofer/amp said "I QUIT" Creative quit making the speaker system and the sound card. The satellite speakers from the Creative GigaWorks speaker system still sound great (rated at 78 watt each) and are a little better speaker than the one's that came with the Z906 and the wattage from the 906 is sufficient to drive the satellites without any distortion. Thank you for addressing my issue, you confirmed what I suspected all along, just needed to hear it from someone with the same setup.
One last question, I purchased a Diamond Multimedia USB Soundcard, can't use the fiber optic(not supported by Mac) but the green, tan and black RCA's plug in and produces adequetly. When you plug your 906's into the Mac Pro using the fiber optic how do you set your speaker configuration? When I plug into the mac pro with fiber optic the 'Audio Midi Setup' does not seem to see the 5.1 configuration. Any thoughts there?

SB Live 5.1 for Dell Vista driver questi

I've been reading this board and though many Sound Blaster issues are covered on it I don't think the specific issues I am having were discussed. Pardon me if they were. I have a Dell Dimension 4600 with the SB Li've 5. card for Dell. After updating my computer with a clean install of Vista Home Premium Vista did not recognize my card as a Soundblaster but as a "mulitmedia device". For a day or so I had no sound until suddenly Windows Update provided a driver for the Soundblaster 5., installed it and I had sound again. OK, not as good as before (no mixers, etc) but stereo sound and both my speakers and my subwoofer were functioning properly. Then, for reasons I won't get into here, I had to completely reinstall Vista again, once again a clean install. This time, after several days of no sound, Windows update did not provide any drivers. So I installed the original drivers provided by Dell and it installed the SB card and it worked, at least until I started getting BSODs and I was forced to uninstall it. Once again back to a "multimedia device" in Device Manager I tried every which way of getting MS to install its driver again with no luck. So this afternoon I installed drivers for xp and an update patch, both downloaded here from Creative and once again the SB works, though I have disabled it to avoid more blue screens. My questions:? Can I remove the drivers without removing the Sound Blaster card as a device in Device Manager so that Vista's Windows Update?will see it as a Sound Blaster card without a driver and provide the drivers as it did during the first installation? After I installed the Creative drivers I tried, though Device Manager, updating the drivers by having Windows Update search for them and the response I got from Windows Update was that I "have the latest drivers", clearly wrong. OK, Creative is not supporting the SB Li've 5. in Vista and I cannot use the Kx drivers because they do not support the Dell OEM Sound Blaster. Fooling Windows update seems to be the only way I can get around buying a new sound card at this point. Anyone have any suggestions?

Kx help files say the Sound Blaster OEM for Dell is not supported and I already tried it. I think I may have stumbled on something because the card now seems to be operating properly and though Device Manager lists the Creative driver for the card if you look inside at the Drii'ver Details, among the Creative files listed are two files by Microsoft, dmk.sys and portcls.sys that are clearly marked "vista_rtm", so somehow I may have gotten a mix of Creative and MS drivers since I have the very limited "mixer" that comes with the Vista SB driver. I am no techie, not by a long shot, but as long as the card works and I get no blue screens and no reports back from Security Manager complaining about a conflict I am going to leave everything just as it is. I don't play games and just need a sound card that works. It actually sounds pretty good now. I wish there was a mixer and bass/treble control but I can li've without it, especially since drivers really aren't finished for Vista. Thanks for your suggestions.

You need to obtain the drivers from your motherboard manufacturer. The drivers you have downloaded are for STAND ALONE cards only, not for integrated motherboard sound cards. I do know that Gateway and other manufacturers have these bundled with their systems. Try here also for a tweaked driver/install package......
http://danielkawakami.blogspot.com/
{****Edit of my own message*****)
I looked for MSI motherboard drivers for that integrated Creative chip and the ones I found were not! for Windows 7. That is why I hope Dan K.'s drivers help you. I have not used that specific Creative onboard chip, so I do not know if Dan K.'s drivers will install. But users in other forums say his package works better than Gateway's inside Windows 7/Vista.
After looking for the options for downloads, I see that there are some drivers out there for integrated realtek/Creative MB software and there are X-FI extreme audio cards that come separately with motherboard that plug in like a standalone sound card. Again, you should check on the MSI home page for their newest drivers. The Creative drivers available straight from Creative may not have your sound card's ID in the driver files for "retail cards" that they have drivers up for. Daniel K and other modders add the proper hardware manufacturer IDs to their driver packs so you can install their ALL IN ONE packs on your system. But I have not seen any users talk of doing that.

X-Fi Xtreme Audio no bass on 5.1 surround under vista 64??

Hi there I'm not sure if this question has been asked before or not but here I go.
Is it possible to get the subwoofer on my 5. setup to work when playing music? I have an X-Fi Xtreme Audio card and I'm using Windows Vista 64bit. I downloaded the latest drivers.
When I play music only the front speakers work, there is no sound from the other speakers or the subwoofer. How do I get this to work?
I ran the tests to make sure all the speakers and the subwoofer are connected properly? (Speakers section of the X-fi menu) and they all seem to work. I have read somewhere that music is stereo and therefore wont work on the rear speakers but how do I get the subwoofer to work?
Thanks in Advance
Luke

Hi thanks, now all the speakers work! But still no subwoofer. I have tried the bass redirection but no luck?
Any thoughts?
Thanks?
Luke
This is a known bug that Creative still did not fix.
For the Bass Redirection to work, the speakers must be small (not full range).
My package fixes the issue.
