Found some isos of the live install CDs, hopefully this will work

Creative Labs Sound Blaster ISA Cards' Drivers Collection (Old Thread)

-Live! ISO did not work

Guess it's time to find a new sound card? 😠

The ones on creative's site doesn't work?

The card could be faulty if the Live! CD didn't work.

Try Ubuntu or something like that...

Look for Live! Value drivers at the link given by Teppic. (Go directly to "Archived Products" category.)

Thanks all, I will try the SBL51_W9xME.exe, although it says it only supports SB 0060

Maybe irrelevant to you, but the few times I tried a SB Live! with ME, ME used it's standard drivers. Can't remember what exact model I used though.

The Dell support site has the drivers for it... I don't know if a direct link will work, since their site is a bit finicky, but you can also get to it by looking under the downloads for a Dimension 8100.

Honestly, though, I don't know if it's worth the trouble of dealing with those Dell cards... they're a bit weird at best, and some of 'em aren't even 'real' SB Live cards. Considering the usual going rate for the SB Lives, it may be worthwhile just to replace the thing... you can get an SB0060 or CT4760 pretty easily off eBay.

Strike 18790258083 for Dell!
-_-

Though having to toss an otherwise functioning soundcard would be a waste 🙁

The KX project supports the CT4780 - but the KX project doesn't support Win98SE anymore, or at least not officially.

A quick search suggests you might be able to find an older version of the KX drivers, or even install the latest ones manually.

Thanks all, I've tried the KX drivers before to avail, but I will try again with hopefully better results.

I agree, Dell OEM cards are usually garbage 😦

I will try the Drivers on the Dell site and see it that works

Thanks

If this doesn't work, I'll probably end up picking up a Turtle Beach card

That's the exact same card that I have, love it and it works great! 😀 Unfortunately, I can't help ya with the W98 drivers, and when I bought mine (a used Dell pull) it was installed directly into a WXP box.

FWIW, if you (or anyone else) installs one in an XP box, here are direct links to CL's drivers, driver updates, manuals, and other such stuff (note that the "(# - " is the order in which to install them for best results):

Currently the Kx drivers have been the most successful. I will update later if I get the card working

If I want to use a CT4170 witch has already been detected by Win98SE do I need driver Upgrades and Soundfonts?
What Do I need. I don't find the drivers.

This one?: http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?file … d=50&menustate=

For the use of the Soundfonts?

Thx!

Why are you bumping a four-year-old thread about a different card?

This one?: http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?file … d=50&menustate=

Why not try it and find out?

Unless you have a specific need for soundfonts, you can very easily do without them.

Thx, what Do I need for the Soundfonts? The Vienna Studio?

No, the Vienna Studio is for creating and modifying soundfonts. What makes you think you need soundfonts?

How does the "WaveEffects" work?
I thought they are SoftwareBased General-Midi Fonts. If I do not install any kind of additional software in Win98SE
I will hear nothing?

Like I said, why don't you try it and find out?

Perhaps you should start a new thread for your questions.
