Soundblaster Live (Dell) and Windows 98 SE dont wo

Hi:
Have a SB li've (value?) (CT4780) from a Dell PC, circa 2000. The Dell machine died so I removed the SB li've card and Installed it in my Asus MB P3B machine running windows 98 SE. Dnloaded the drivers for SB Li've Value from the Creative USA site and installed them....No sound...from any source. Checked the web..supposedly there are some problems with this card and usable drivers from Creative. Can anybody point me toward the right set of drivers that will make this card work with W 98SE?
Thanks
John

Those are the upgrade drivers. I need the original drivers that came on the CD.
When I try to install the upgrade drivers, the installation correctly completes, but after restarting device manager just shows failure on the card with a message about drivers not being installed.

Soundblaster Live Value and Windows

I have been previously running Soundblaster Li've Value on an Windows ME computer without any problems. I have now upgraded to Windows XP, could you please advise what files I require to run Soundblaster Li've Value on Windows XP including the application file. Are any files required from the original Soundblaster CD. I would appreciate your advise. kevsim

[size="3" face="Times New Roman">Catherina-CL, ?I thank you for the advice and for the others in sharing their experiences.
[size="3" face="Times New Roman">I still have a few problems and would appreciate some further help.
[size="3" face="Times New Roman">I have installed the update as suggested.
[size="3" face="Times New Roman">When I was running Sounblaster under Windows ME, there was an applet called ?What You Hear?, I can now no longer find this applet.
[size="3" face="Times New Roman">The other issue is, previously I had a sound recorder which would record in stereo, since the upgrade I can no longer find this, it was part of Soundblaster.

Windows 10 needs an option to completely remove Metro/Modern UI, Apps, Live Titles and Windows Store.

The main thing I expected for next version of Windows is an to completity remove Metro/Modern UI, Apps, Live Titles and Windows Store. Microsoft does not understand the Windows 8 bad reputation and has not learned anything.

A little Microsoft last years history:
Microsoft en general has good operatings systems in all segments, good office and server products, before year 2010.
The best OS that Microsoft never ended is Longhorn:
http://www.zdnet.com/windows-longhorn-still-the-most-exciting-windows-ui-to-date-7000007363/
http://longhorn.ms/
Microsoft be the first on a good mobile OS: Windows Mobile. In lastest versions of Windows Mobile, i can sync all my Exchange items, including tasks and notes. Its has a good interface with a menu, a desktop with shortcuts and more. Every new version improve
visuals with more effects, gradients, transparencies and more. Windows Mobile are far years old than iOS or Android.
But since year 2010, Microsoft presents Windows Phone, with and ugly user interface, with less visuals, no desktop, no notifications, no apps, no app compatibility with Windows Mobile and only sync Contacts and Email. No calendar, tasks, notes. Also the
simplicity of the Mail app makes it unuseable.
Now, in 2014, Windows Phone can sync Calendar, but no Tasks or Notes. Less than in Windows Mobile.
Android is new for year 2009 and mimics desktop OS's and Windows Mobile with a desktop and gadgets. In every new version of Android i see a lot of improvements and new features. I also sync Exchange tasks and with another app, Exchange Notes. Android continues
to mimic desktop OS's now featuring Windows on a mobile OS, but Microsoft is removing desktop features in order to a limited Metro ugly interface.
Windows Mobile had a 30% market share and Windows Phone has a 2,5% of market share.
With this bad and ugly OS, Microsoft completity destroys Nokia.
With this bad reputation of an ugly and unuseable OS, Microsoft decide to put all this ugly OS to the Windows Desktop OS, with less features than older Windows OS versions,
obtaining no more than 10% of market share, compared to the more than 50% of Windows 7 and the more than 20% of Windows XP.
Also Microsoft remove features in every new version of every Microsoft product except in SQL Server.
Microsoft Office removed crucial features and shows an ugly UI with ugly icons. For example, Office 2013 shows me less emails on screen than Office 2010. Also the lack of constrast and the lack of ClearType make it difficult to read.
The UI and icons in Visual Studio with the ridicolous ALL CAPS menu are higly
criticized by the developer community forcing Microsoft to change visuals, new icons and a Visual Studio 10 Theme. But continues flat, ugly and with less features than previous versions.
Exchange removes the Exchange Management Console and Exchange Control Panel for an ugly web interface. More functions and commands need to do now by the Exchange Powershell cmdlet commands instead of a Visual GUI interface.
With this bad numbers and reputacion, Microsoft also puts these ugly OS on the new XBox One, a cloud console developed for a
house living room to show TV, movies, listen music and play games. Initially forced to always connected to Internet, Microsoft was forced to remove that and the kinect due to the poor reception of a console not developed to power games users and
with insuffient power for actual games. Actual sales data compared to Playstation4 shows a bad and dead product like Nokia Phones.
And now, close to year 2015, with all this bad reputation and numbers, Microsoft still continues to force to an ugly, flat and simple OS with apps and cloud. I never use cloud or put my private data on the cloud.
With even more reason never put my company or work data on the cloud.
I do not trust the cloud, and even less
trust in Microsoft. Ads like Scroogled,
make me gain more confidence in Google
and lose even more confidence in Microsoft,
because you need to attack the competition rather than
focus on developing good products.
Instead i got at least the same features on a new OS, i never upgrade.
Less appearance settings. No advanced appearance settings like in Windows 7. No Aero. No Themes. No Customizations options. Only flat and ugly design, with bad and heavy colors that makes eye strained and lack of constrast between areas on the Window of
an application (see Office 2013).
Less Protect System options. No Shadow Copies or Prevoius Versions. File History is unusefull.
Less Network options. No Network map. Less Wi-Fi features. No Bluetooth File sharing.
No desktop games.
General ugly UI without options. I dont like FLAT.
Why change Windows 7 with an OS with less features like Windows 8.x and 10?
The only new is:
Ugly Metro/Modern UI does nobody wants and solicitated this.
Simple apps with ADS that are practically unusefull on desktop PC and more on enterprise.
Cloud!!! Who, in their right mind, puts his own private data on the cloud?
Cloud!!! Who, in their right mind, puts his own company private data on the cloud?
Nobody wants to create a Microsoft Account or use a Store of Simple apps with ADS. Nobody solicitated this but Microsoft wahts to makes money.
Seeing the little progress
and development of new features including
new versions, as
Windows Phone 7 to Windows
Phone 8, Windows
8 to 8.1 and 10 shows the
reducidad capacity and
the current difficulty of
development by Microsoft
counting the numerous
layoffs and closing of
numerous development teams.
Serious and professional developers never develop Windows Store/Metro-Style apps.
They develops .NET, Windows Forms Applications, WPF, MFC, C++, etc. applications.
That is the actual technology that people are using, learning and jobs searching.
And what Microsoft means Modern or actually:
“Windows Store/Phone Projects”
is technology that never wants, nobody asked and needed for.
I never see a decent “Windows Store/Phone Projects” or a rich client app on that technology. I only see garbage, spam, ads and its the better platform for spammers, and people who want to get my money badly and with bad ways.
“Windows Store/Phone Projects” is the best platform for thieves, crooks, swindlers and more.
I never develop to a simply unusefull platform whit limited technologies and a platform in which Microsoft gets 20% of my work.
I want .NET technologies, WPF, Windows Form and to create exe files. For Mobile/Tablet platform i used .apk files that not need a store to distribute them.
I expect from next version of Windows to create local accounts and options to COMPLETITY disable Metro and Windows Store with the restore of removed features like Shadow Copies, Backup and Restore, Aero, Advanced Appearance Settings, Expand All Programs
in Start Menu, Games apps like Solitaire, Mineswipper, Chess Titans, DVD Maker and more removed features. If Microsoft not do this, the next version of Windows continues to be another disaster like Windows 8.x and people stick with Windows XP and 7 in order
to think about migrations to Mac OSX or Linux.
For all who likes and defends the new Microsoft concept, please see the actual Microsoft marketshare in all segments.
Microsoft has to think and open your eyes
and see that from 2010 all
new versions of their products are inferior
products with fewer features,
destroying and killing the product like Windows Mobile, Nokia, Windows, XBox, etc. Microsoft needs to see the marketshare of all this new products and compare with the marketshare of old products.
It is very serious and a lot of attention
today that Windows XP has greater
market share than Windows 8.x for this reason
alone should be enough for Microsoft
to react and change all their wonderful way
of thinking and his philosophy like
"Devices and Services "or the
new" Cloud first,
Mobile First ".
In business, one of the main premises
is that if a product works and sold, do not change it. Microsoft is not only changing Windows, is elimintating the sale of the 50% marketshare of Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate edition. And
more, for more than 2 years, Microsoft is not developing any Service Pack for Windows 7, that is unaceptable. All of this is stupid and idot and the best things to lost confidence and trust on Microsoft.
Microsoft is doing the all things that i can do to kill a company.
Remember those companies, like Coca-Cola, Xerox, etc. that
were about to go bankrupt to change
its philosophy and strategy, which worked
very well, and failed to get up
again until they return to its own strategy and
philosophy of the beginning.

SB Live! 5.1 Dell and Windows Vista Driv

Since the Sound Blaster Li've! 5. (digital) card included with Dell computers a few years ago are no longer supported by Creative, and since I now have Windows Vista 32-bit Ultimate edition, is there any way to get Creative drivers for it, or will I simply have to purchase the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro card that I planned to buy for a new custom-built high-performance computer?Simply put: Are there any Creative-made drivers for Vista for the SB Li've! 5. cards?

Try using the kX drivers. Admittingly, I also use kX on my XP MCE2005 box because the Creative drivers hang during install on MCE2005. I've also tested it under Vista 32 and it appears to work (didn't stick to Vista 32 because it was problematic and lacked certain features i.e. What-U-Hear for me). Good luck!

Dell and Windows xp cannot add Airport Extreme

I got this Dell 6400 from my last job. (would have preferred a mac)
I've got a an Airport Extreme as my wifi and have an Airport Express for my stereo. Problem: Can't choose multiple speakers in iTunes - been through the airport utility, have no security, nor firewalls, but when I go to choose to "join network"...the one I have on the airport is not seen.
The unit is working, just can't get both to join up. argh.

Welcome to the discussions forums seakerman.
Most Windows problems are due to wireless security or firewalls, but you addressed that. So, I was at a loss to explain but I'm wondering if the following (bold face) is a clue:
but when I go to choose to "join network"...*the one I have on the airport* is not seen.
The Express and Extreme need to be on the same network. Are they?

Conflict with SoundBlaster Live! and Asus A8V Deluxe onboard au

Hi,
I have just upgraded my motherboard to an Asus A8V Deluxe. On my old board, I used to use two sound devices at once. One was the onboard sound and the other was a PCI Sound Blaster Li've card.
On the new board, I have the Realtek onboard sound enabled in BIOS. This works fine on its own, but when I put the Sound Blaster Li've in, Windows no longer displays the Realtek in the device manager. Instead I just get the Sound Blaster. So its like the motherboard doesnt like two cards at once.
I would like to get the onboard sound working as I use it most days for internet telephony through a headset while my PCI card is used for music / games etc through the loudspeakers.
Thanks in advance.
Will

<i have that mobo in my other pc and i could never get the onboard sound to work with the augy2 zs at all. it would never show up in device manager when ever i had the augy2 installed. i did talk to a ASUS tech and they told me that you cant run the onboard with a sound card at all. it is automatically disabled vie mobo. some how? he realy didnt go into details about it. but yeah i ended using 2 sound cards on that pc the augy2 zs and a li've 5. 24 bit so i could have my teamspeak usin the 5. and everything else used the augy2. and even now with this new pc i built i cant use the onbaord sound with a sound card. even tho i could use it for a bit tho. it would ened up crashing an the blue screen of death would also happen when i did. so i to now use a usb headset that is for playstation2 since it has its own sound device built in it. but sorry for no good news for ya tho. but other then that , that mobo is a good one tho, the A8V deluxe.

SoundBlaster Live! at Windows Vi

I have bought a external sound card because I couldn't attach my 5. on my laptop...
Now I have bought a new desktop, and I'd like to use my external sound card on the new computer. Problem is that it's a Windows vista. I downloaded the drivers for vista, installed everything.
Now, when I double click the Surround Mixer icon at my traybar, it gives the following error (translated from dutch to english):
"The audio peripheral that is supported for this application, is not found. The application has been shut down."
So I got sound, but I can't adjust anything... Things like putting my inbound on "what I hear" etc was very easy to use, and I wouldn't like it to lose this feature. Neither I'd like to buy a new soundcard for my new computer...
What did I do wrong What should I do to fix this

TehLprAffinity,
When you installed the card did you have an Antivirus running? If so you will want to cleansweep and reinstall the card with your antivirus disabled. Here are the instructions on how to cleansweep and reinstall the card:

Soundblaster Live! Platinum, Windows XP SP2 & "Multimedia Audio Controller" w/Yellow Question M

I am setting up a brand new PC, but using some old trusted parts, like my SB Li've! Platinum, with the Li've Dri've.
In the past, setting up with Windows XP w/SP never resulted in any problems. I would have the Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe file on CD and once I booted to the Windows Desktop, I could browse the CD, install the drivers without incident.
Enter Windows XP w/SP2 ... this is a fresh install with SP2 slipstreamed into the install media. This comes direct from Microsoft via MSDN Download, and is not a home grown piece of install media.
When the installation completes, I have sound, but I also have the following:
In the Device Manager, under Other Devices, I have an entry for:Multimedia Audio Controller (yellow question mark)
I also have under Sound, video and game controllers, entries for:Creative SB Li've! (WDM)Creative SBLi've! Gameport
When I launch the programs in the Sound Blaster Li've! group, I get the following:
a) Audio HQ"Cannot initialize audio dri've. Reinstall audio driver.
b) Creative Sound Mixer"CeDevcon.dll has returned an error. Mixer will now exit.
c) Creative Restore Defaults"There were some errors encountered while restorine your soundcard's settings. Some settings could not be restored.
d) Creative DiagnosticsMixer Driver - FailSoundFont Setting - FailMixer Settings Check - Fail
d.) Begin Fix"Some files required by Creative Diagnostics are missing or having problems. Please reinstall the software from your installation media.Message Edited by boggsie on 2-06-2004 05:26 AM

I received the following instructions from Creative Support (via e-mail):
To clean sweep the SB Li've, please:
) go to Safe Mode (restart and press F8 for safe mode).
2) Then go to the Device Manager.
3) To get there in XP, right click on My Computer, go to Properties, choose the Hardware tab and Device Manager button.
4) Now remove all listings for Creative (or any other old audio software) in Device Manager under "Sound, Video & Game Controllers."
5) If you see anything called a MPU40 device, disable that as well (not remove, just right click and disable).
6) Also if you have a category called "Other Devices", remove any sound oriented listings there also.
7) Then go to the Control Panel, to Add/Remove Programs.
8) Find your Creative Sound Card and remove it. Select ALL.
9) After it is finished it will ask you to reboot your computer. Say No.
0)Then go back to Add/Remove and look for any more Creative listings (or listings for any old audio devices) and remove them all.
)Then right click on the Start button and go to Explore.
2)On the left side of the screen, scroll to the top, click on the + by the C dri've. Go down to Program Files.
3)Under Program Files, completely delete the Creative folder, just right click it and delete.
4)Then re-start your computer.
5)After windows is completely up, now reinstall your Creative software from then original installation CD
6)Then the updates we have available for it on our website.
7)It should all go in properly now.

Problem with DTT3500 soundset and onboard Soundblaster live! 24-bit

Hi,
I have bought a new PC with an MSI k8n sli platinum MB. this mainboard has a built in soundblaster live!24-bit chip onboard. it works great on headphones and normal 2 set speakers (analog connection).
however, when I try to set them up at the DTT3500 speaker set, trouble begins.
before continuing, just want to say First that my older PC is standing next to it, with a Soundblaster live! 5.1. If I connect with this PC to my speaker set, via the digital uitput, everythin works great. (5.1 surround).
In the DTT3500 manual, when Digital DIN is blinking, it says it isn't recieving any signal, or not the right one (like AC-3). (I know this when on my old PC when I switch to headphones, the digital din is then blinking, which is normal as I disabled Digital output in Windows)
now my questions:
Is this digital port is ac-3 signal or somthing else on the Soundblaster live! 24-bit?
Do I need to use another type of cable, like SPDIF Din Cable? (I now have a minijack to Din cable)
I tried with optical, it works, but only with 2 speakers (left and right / digital output is on). is this normal? If i look at the manual, it's typical used for gameconsoles with stereo left and right. I guess this is so with the DDT3500 decoder...?
if I try Digital Din on the Decoder, it doesn't work. the Decoder Led keeps blinking. Yet in Windows, digital output is on and 5.1 speakers is selected.
In short, exact the same setup on the Decoder and PC as my older PC.
My guess is the the soundblaster live! 24-bit is an enhanced version of the soundblaster live! 5.1? Am I wrong, I don't know....
I do know that the reviews said you could use the digital port (orange one)
here is a picture:
http://www.overclockers.co.nz/ocnz/reviewimage.php?id=05boardnf4sli00microstak8nslipt0104&file=panel.jpg
and here more info on it: http://www.overclockers.co.nz/ocnz/review.php?id=05boardnf4sli00microstak8nslipt0204
I would apreciate any help, as i'm really stuck at the moment.

does anybody use the soundblaster live! 24-bit to power a surround speaker set? or is it just impossible? (for gaming)

Metro Apps don't open on Local and Domain account. Works on Microsoft Live account. Windows 8.1 Pro

This is Happening on Three different computers.
All computers are Windows 8.1 Pro. This is a clean install.
When the computer is initially setup, I first sign on with my Windows Live ID and everything seems to work fine there.
After Joining the computer to the domain, none of the Metro UI apps will open, they open briefly and close.
Added a local account and found that it also does not work there.
Steps I have tried to resolve this:
Modified owner and permissions on registry Key: HKCR\AppID\{3EB3C877-1F16-487C-9050-104DBCD66683}
Changed owner to Local Administrator and gave full controll to Local Admin and Domain user account.
Ran DCOMCNFG and under Computers ->My Computer-> WinInetCacheServer Properties I went to the IDENTITY TAB and changed
it to the Interactive User.
That did not help.
Ran this command: "powershell
-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml" from elevated command prompt and also did not help.
I tried downloading the App troubleshooter but it would not run.
I also tried "wsreset.exe" and got an error saying: " Windows cannot find 'ms-windows-storePurgeCaches'. Make sure you typed the name
correctly, and then try again"
When Trying to open the app and it fails I get this error under Applications in Event Viewer:
"Activation of app winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store failed with error: This app does not support the contract specified or is not installed. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information."
Anyone know how to resolve this.
We are looking to implement Windows 8.1 Pro to our clients pretty soon and need to get this resolved asap.
Thanks

Hi,
Did you mean that this problem only after you join the computer to the domain? if so, you may need to check whether you domain controller would install any program to your system. or you can contact domain adminstrator for further assistance.
In addition, run the following in a Command Window (CMD) to re-register the Store App:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.XML

Hi Samcat,
You can use a download instead of the disk as an alternative: Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 | Adobe you can license with your serial
Please test the disk in another windows machine to check if it's caused by the drive or the disk. If you tested with 2 drives please start a support case, i assume Adobe will only provide downloads at this point. They are the same as the trials. If you still need a disk you can burn the trial to a disk as a backup disk. Good luck!
