Creative Sound Blaster Live 51 Cd Iso

Sound Blaster live! Installation hangs on 'Updating Windows drivers' stage. By retro games 100 » 2011-6-18 @ 17:58. I am using a CT4760 SBLive! I think it's a 'gamer' model SBLive! For the installation, I am using the CD.ISO file found on Malik's Creative drivers thread, here. The specific piece of software from that thread is.

• 4 Answers SOURCE: This is a problem I have encountered my self with this card and a Audigy 2ZS card. First, make sure the correct CD is being used, the Audigy card was a refurb that replaced the original retail box card that went bad, I was using the retail CD. Second, I just had the same problem on my sons machine three days ago. I moved the card to a different slot to get it away from the video card. Thats when the problem started.

I tried every trick and finally replaced the card with another I had in a different machine. The card was the problem. Take the card out, inspect it very carefully and reinstall it. Other than that, try erasing the hard drive, not format. See if the maker has a program that will write zero's to it and then reinstall your operating system. If you use a backup after the install, I would put the card in it's original slot it has always occupied.

I just uploaded a ISO file to a torrent which contains the original CD for a 'RETAIL' card, I say this because I don't know if it will work with an oem card. Google SB 0220 torrent to find it, SB_INSTALL.ISO is the one, uploaded. Email me at yahoo and I'll try to help some more. Posted on Oct 12, 2009.

Way back when I originally posted my link, I could not find the drivers anywhere. When I did run accross them, it took an hour to download, so I decided to provide it myself on a higher speed connection. If you say the problem now is not the drivers availability, but rather the software on the CD, I can try making an ISO out of the CD and posting that link instead. And I will make all my best efforts to keep the link active for as long as possible, and update it if needed. Looking at your system specs, I sure hope that you're NOT using Vista RC's as your primary operating system.:no: I haven't tried a mic with it. I honestly can't even help you with that one since I don't have a standard analog mic to begin with. All I've got are USB headsets for mic.

The best I can do is to tell you to make sure you get the PROPER Surround Mixer software installed (good luck finding that on Creative's website.) and to make sure that your MIC INPUT/OUTPUT are not muted by the system. I have also seen systems where you simply can't hear anything until you enable the MIC BOOST. (Usually +20 dB.) Windows SHOULD have the basic functionality that you need in order to do this. All within the standard Windows Volume adjustment console. In the future. PLEASE make sure you specify whether you are using the PCI or USB (External) version of this sound card. It will help eliminate confusion during the troubleshooting process.

I managed to help one guy in the Czech Republic with this problem so far. It took some work between the different time zones and much texting.

But we figured it out. For the record, the extra software that comes with the PCI version apparently DOES work with the USB (External) version of this sound device. Install the USB drivers for the External version and then install the software that comes with either the PCI or USB version and you should be good to go. This includes: -Creative Device Control -Surround Mixer -GRAPHIC EQUALIZER (Without this you will NOT be adjusting bass or treble. Not even using the Windows volume adjustment console!) I will be preparing modular updates and posting them on my mirror server that I rent. You will be able to download the drivers, CT Equalizer, Surround Mixer and Device Control SEPERATELY; as needed. The only thing you may have to worry about is languages.

The default language will be English. I will also be making the ISO of the CD available for download once I rip it. Then all you'd have to do is use your burner to burn the ISO image to CD or use Daemon Tools to run it. I just noticed that you're also having trouble with the 5.1 features. Ask yourself.

How are you connecting your speakers currently? You know that ORANGE hole on the sound card? Sometimes it's digital.

Sometimes it's not. (The industry doesn't seem to be able to make up it's mind on that one for some damn reason.) THAT, people.is usually the CENTER/SUB channel. Make sure that if you're using a real set of 5.1 speakers that have the FRONT L/R (green), REAR L/R (black) and CENTER/SUB (orange) channels.the cables coming from the speakers will be colored the same.

(With possible varying shades of these colors.) The one that people get confused is the CENTER/SUB channel. They plug the CENTER/SUB cable into the DIGITAL output sometimes. I'll be honest when I say that I'm not sure that even I fully understand how they intended some of these outputs to be used. But I sure as hell figured it out when I bought my Logitech Z5500's.:) Took some time and a lot of getting pi$$ed off but I sure as hell got it. The next thing to keep in mind is to make sure that you switch ALL of your software to 5.1, Surround, EAX, etc. This includes the Surround Mixer control panel that SHOULD come with the card but apparently sometimes DOESN'T, despite Creative Labs' insistence that they include it with EVERY card they ship.WITHOUT FAIL. (I finally got one, BTW.
