remove the device in device manager and reboot it should pick it up fine as is, if not look in the multimedia properties for anythign not set right or the volume to low, if that doesnt help check device manager for conflicts

Xp Professional should have set up your Live card correctly.
Then you are suppose to go to Windows Update, and let it install THAT soundblaster live Driver....

You should not have to install The drivers from Soundblaster website...

Mine no longer is linked to 'Dos' Type stuff, irq 5 example.........

i would take all the software out for the card then shut dwon and take the card out then reboot with the card out then shut down reinstall and c what happens make sure you goto add or remove progarams and take out the driver for the sound blaster there if it is there then it will be a fresh start gl and let me know if it works
