I have sound blaster live! 5.1 digital 0220 (0229 by serial number). When i buyed that soundcard i have installed kx drivers. My bro and me have exact cards (only difference is that he has 0228). My is bulk, i got only cmedia drivers and card. I am using drivers 3537 and i don't have central&subwoofer enabled in ins' & outs', bro has. When i was installing drivers, i selected sb0220, but in kxmixer in lower right corner says kx generic [a400] and i can't change that, it is alway same. Help please!!!!!

I am not sure why kX shows it as "Kx Generic". I would use DriverCleaner to remove all traces of the CL drivers and the kX drivers (and maybe even try moving the card to another PCI slot), and then reinstall (and probably use a newer version of kX, as 3537 does not work correctly with some sb022x cards). Without kX detecting the correct model of your card, than some features will likely be dsiabled as you noticed.
