so I had the idea to build a win98/xp duel boot system with the duel tualatin system I have. I decided on the sound blaster live! value since, well its a half decent card for the era and its what i already have laying here. getting it to work in XP was no problem but getting it to run under windows98 is a huge pain. I tried 2 diffrent driver CD's i already owned. the official drivers from creative and the drivers in the Vogons driver db and none worked. at one point the computer was showing the card installed and working with no conflicts but I couldnt get any acual sound to output nomatter what I tried. In the end i decided to just start completly over and formatted the drive and reinstalled windows 98. tried installing the live! again first thins time using the drivers on the vogons index since they seemed the closest to my cards manufacture date and now i get a dll error and conflicts...are these cards really that picky about drivers? I know the card works because it sounds perfect under XP.
