Jan 17, 2008 - Question about Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! Sound blaster.com creative dont have them did u look in legecy area old stuff they have a area im sure for them if not drivers.com does type in model sighn up free dl it ok. Creative Labs CT4620,CT4670,CT4780,CT4830,CT4850,CT4870,SB LIVE Free Driver Download for Windows 98SE, 98 - LW_9x.exe (119014). World's most popular driver download site.
No, it won't work on Windows 7 as there's no compatible driver for it. It's an old, discontinued model which hasn't received any new drivers since Windows XP. Had the Same problem (today) updating a XP PC (P4 series) to Windows 7. (since XP is now discontinued) BUT No driver for the Soundcard (SB Live! 5.1) Did a google search, tried the 3th party driver (works) but did get errors and even a BSOD. SOLUTION That Works Using Creative Drivers: Find your installer CD that came with your SBLive. (or find torrent of the ISO -> search for: Soundblaster) Copy the Driver directory to your HDD (or USB drive) then select the EXE file in the Root and go to properties, then select to run in: XP SP2 comp.
Then run the EXE.now it will install the 'old' WDM driver and you got sound. I disabled the Game Port after install. Seems to be stable.
Got sound and no futher issues. Hope this helps.
