Windows Vista + SB Live! Value sound card solution
This is a solution to 5.1 sound in Windows Vista if you have old SB Live! sound card from previous version of windows OS.
- Download XP driver for the card from official website. The file name is LiveDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe dated 28 Feb 03 and 23.32Mb in total.
- Use WinRAR to extract the downloaded file to any folder. Do no double-click to run because it won’t work.
- Go to Device Manager in Vista -> Update Driver Software for your card. Select “Browse my computer for driver software” and then browse to this location \LiveDrvUni-Pack(ENG)\Audio\Drivers. It should recognize your card without a hitch. Now you only have basic stereo sound.
- Next step is to download newest version of Kx project audio drivers at http://download.kxproject.lugosoft.com/downloads/kxdrv3538m-full.exe and install. And then just follow the prompt installation gives you. Reboot system once completely done with installation.
- Now you have Kx Manager in the taskbar. Open it up and select “Speaker Setup” and set “Speaker Mode” as 5.1
- Voila… Enjoy!
