I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM EXACLY FOR OVER A YEAR NOW.
THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THREADS LIKE THIS ONE.
SOME SBLIVE CARDS WORK, OTHERS DONT.
SOME MORONS JUST SAY "CANT YOU INSTALL A SOUND CARD. OTHERS SAY "CHECK YOUR VOLUME
AND MUTE BUTTONS.
ONE WOULD THINK IT IS DRIVER ISSUES, BUT I HAVE TRIED THEM ALL. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING
AND ALL CONFIGURATIONS.
OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM, WHATEVER IT MAY BE, WHETHER DRIVER OT CONFIGURATION.
WHY DOESNT CREATIVE FIND THE PROBLEM AND CREATE A POST OR FIX FOR IT, OR COME CLEAN
AND SAY THAT SOME PARTICULAR VERSIONS OF SBLIVE VALUE DONT WORK WITH XP.
WHY WONT CREATIVE HELP TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM.
THIS ISN'T A RARE "ONE OFF" THING. IT AFFECTS MANY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, MANY OF WHOM
ARE VERY KNOLEDGABLE REGARDING COMPUTING.
EXCEPT FOR THE OCCASIONAL USER WHO FORGOT TO CLICK A BUTTON, OR INSTALL THE RIGHT
DRIVERS, I HAVE NOT HEARD OF EVEN ONE PERSON WHO HAS FIXED THIS SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM.
I JUST WENT OUT AND STUPIDLY BOUGHT MORE CREATIVE PRODUCTS, BEING SOME SPEAKERS,
AND I GOT HOME TO FIND THAT THERE IS NO LEFT/RIGHT, ONLY FRONT/BACK/CENTER!. NAME
ONE DEVICE BESIDES A CREATIVE SOUND CARD THAT DOESN'T HAVE LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKER
PLUGS. CREATIVE SUCKS AND THATS THAT.
IF THEY WANTED TO HELP THEY COULD GET THE TECHNITIONS TO FIND THE PROBLEM IN A MATTER
OF DAYS AND RESOLVE IT OR POST A NOTE, INSTEAD THEY WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO BUY MORE OF
THEM (AND THE TRUTH IS THEY ARE STILL SELLING THEM WHEN THEY ARE BADLY OUT OF DATE),
OR WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO BUY A NEW CARD (WHICH WAS THERE ANSWER TO ME MANY MONTHS AGO
WHEN THERE WASNT XP DRIVERS AVAILABLE.."BUY THE GOLD VERSION" THEY SAID (AFTER I
BOUGHT THE SBLIVE CARD 2 MONTHS EIRLER BEFORE UPGRADING TO XP)
IF PEOPLE BOYCOTTED THEIR PRODUCTS THEN THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR SUPPORT WOULD
GET THE SACK AND A NEW EMPLOYEE WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM, OR POST A NOTE IF IT CAN'T
BE FIXED.
SORRY FOR THE RAMBLE BUT I HAVE HAD MANY MANY MONTHS OF FUSTRATION AND RUN-AROUNDS
WITH THE OFFICIAL ANSWER BEING TO BUY THEIR NEWER CARD....NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
AS FOR ALL THOSE MORON WHO SAY THAT I CANT INSTALL A SOUND CARD, THEN GET MY MODEL
AND BRAND CARD WITH MY SAME CHIPSET AND OS AND DO BETTER, OR POST A FIX OTHER THAN
"TURN YOUR VOLUME UP"......
NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY CREATIVE PRODUCTS...I AM TAKING THE SPEAKERS
BACK TOMORROW....... SCREW THEM.
