I have an sb live! only to enjoy the em10k chip on windows 98 for midi playback and on dos for live module player. There is other card in that computer that handle the legacy SB job perfectly so I wanted to get rid of sb16 emulation since it's pretty crowded in here. On dos using "sbeset -d1" to disable it seem to have no effect on windows. I read that the only way to disable it on windows is to disable the "Computer / Creative Miscellaneous Devices / Creative SB16 Emulation".
Are they any more elegant way to disable it ? Although I've always find it being an ugly stain in the Device Manager to have disabled device, is it an efficient way to release resources, I question it since they still appear shared in the Computer Properties.
EDIT: After a reboot the resources from the disabled device disappear in the Computer properties, and windows say that this device is not using any resource for being disabled, so that's pretty good already.
