Is the file named sb0200.7z attached to the post from February 2024 not working for you ?

In case you don't see it due to a forum glitch, here is a link to it.

The sb0200 uses EMU10k1x chip (smaller chip, missing a few functions) not the EMU10k1 or K2 found on most SB Live cards. Most Linux versions use a diff driver specific for it so makes sense Win9x would also need a diff driver compared to standard Live!, Live! 5.1 and 1024....

nevermind

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun

Yes...the IA link is specifically for SB200 cards for that reason, but it doesn't work for my SB200. This is why the multi-card driver packs, like the one maintained here on Vogons, don't work for those usually Dell SB200 cards.

Anyone else reading this about Creative PCI sound cards: I see the Audigy 2 ZS SB0350 for around $20 a lot on ebay (and the Sb0350 is a retail supported card). They are a very good card for XP and 98SE and drivers are easy to find....probably one of the best 98se/xp sound cards for reasonable....

Darn, I just bought this too. :'( (Cost 5 bucks 😜 So not a huge deal at least it sounds decent for windows games.)
Oh well live and learn right? Now I know what to look for, thanks guys. I will probably buy the PCI 128 since thats what my father used on our first PC (Which I threw away in a moment of stupidity 4 years ago. So I still have the drivers for it, are there any funky things about the 128 I should know about? Any OEM versions or funky versions like the Live seems to have? (I mean there are like 20 different types of Live! card! What the heck? 🤣)

+1 Audigy 2ZS SB0350 is the way to go. You can find them for $15 sometimes if you're patient. I bought 5 from someone a while back for $50!
