They worked -- kind of! I was optimistic because the install disc was different from the other two I had tried. However, as the install neared the end, Windows once again asked me for the location of the "PCI Multimedia Audio Device." I hit cancel, and it found the driver for the "PCI Input Controller" (gameport).
After the install finished, I went into Device Manager to find a question mark next to "PCI Multimedia Audio Device." I couldn't find the driver anywhere on the CD or in Windows.
I was just about to give up and revert back to the previous disk image when I decided to look for the driver in this collection on Vogonsdrivers: Sound Blaster Live! Value/PCI 512/5.1 Sept 2001 WDM.
It found a Soundblaster Live! Value (WDM), so I went ahead and installed it. Well, everything is working great. No more truncated Windows start sound, and my games sound great.
I had tried to load those same WDM drivers before, following use of the other two install CDs. That's when I got the wrong sounds. So your install CD laid the groundwork. I'm not sure what WDM means or how the driver is different from non-WDM, however.
Thanks again!
