mistan is on a distinguished road

I have an installation prob with my SB LIVE 5.1 and so i cant do the sb-aud1 thing

Creative software installation doesnt work..
it just doesnt detect my card
it says that it cant find any creative card on my computer
windows xp detects it
i have tried different pci slots...i get same result
my onboard audio is disabled
i really want 24bit/96khz
im an upcoming producer that needs better sound quality w/o spending money because im flat broke
if anybody can help they will be appreciated
plz
even the diagnostics cant detect the card
is there any other way to do the conversion?>
like a manual install

the SB Live! series is locked at 16/48
if it is a SB Live! Digital (SB0060, SB010x) then you already have 5.1 analog out (the digital jack doubles as an analog output in analog mode)

for the 5.1 analog thing
what i meant was for the mic/line in to be changed over to line outs
so i can have the left/right channels seperate for the front and the rear

the jacks are ahrd-wired, you can't change them. But you already have 5.1 - what do you mean about seperate for the front and rear?

it will say nothing, as it will detect the card now, if it doesnt you probably need the correct ID for your card, i know the ctcomp file says 5.1 cards are 00801061, 00801062, 00801064, 00801069, 0080106A, 0080106B, 0080106C, 00801065 but i had to add mine taht is 00801067, its also mising 00801066 and 00110001, u need your correct ID for the setup to work

u can see that on the device manager, or u can extract it from your original software installation, using the same i6comp trick

no better sound quality then...
i really need an audigy 2 zs now....i make music for gods sake
i cant deal with this low quality stuff..
is there a diff between this guide and the one where you convert the sb live 5.1 into an audigy 1 because i remember it saying that you get higher khz like up to 96khz
anybody have an extra audigy 2 on hand?
maybe i can do something for it
