While looking around to see if it’s possible to get EAX4 working on a 1st gen Audigy card I came across this instead.
The kx project drivers support any device using an EMU10K1 EMU10K2 so that’s SB Live through Audigy 4 range (minus a few value/oem options)
The last version that supports Win98 is kxdrv3537-full.exe which can be found here
http://www.roxysoft.com/drivers/kX-Project-Au … -driver-update/
It has its own installer which ran ok but after restart I got a message that it couldn’t initialise & device manager complains “device loader could not load this device” another search on the net found the fix.
Delete the file c:\windows\system32\drivers\kx.sys
Copy the file c:\program files\kX Project\3537\kx98.sys into c:\windows\system32\drivers
Rename the kx98.sys just copied to the drivers folder to kx.sys
Reboot!
Win98 support was dropped when Vista & now 7 was supported so may work to get your Live! Cards working in Vista & above, but again I haven’t tried this.
I’ve been using it all day now just listing to winamp, it does a few strange things like switching between PC’s on the KVM makes the music skip a beat & the volume control in Winamp 2.95 doesn’t work, but windows tray works ok. This may be my Pc as it’s not the cleanest 98 install anymore & I haven’t tweaked any settings (Which there are loads)
It’s major downfall though is no support for EAX as its aimed more at music recording
