Really old, and mixed-up thread

It's not a profitable choice to attempt to bring back such a long, and old, thread
as this. Most readers will skip right on past it; a few will pause a moment to expand
the replies one level, maybe even two, but your tagalong here is many levels downward.
The SB "!Value" software is apparently pretty buggy. It's my bet that a Google for
it would turn up a ton of complaints. I had a lot of trouble with it on one of my
PC's, every time that I repaired Windows with a reinstall of any sort, and never
got satisfaction from Creative's support, or lack thereof. At a later date, I got
a Creative SB 5.1 card, and using that software on the older machine worked better.
At some point, however, the older sound card failed.
My "!Value" SB device was new about seven years ago, and has been in the city dump
for at least two years now. If you will start a new thread, I will check to see
if I saved any notes in a binder I still have for the PC that the !Value card spent
its life attached to.
