I recently got my hands on a sound blaster live! 5.1 sound card. Upon getting into windows, the automatic updates installed the sound card (the multimedia part anyway)...then it tried to install a "PCI input device" and couldnt find a driver for it. The PCI input device is most likely the game port on the card.
Now, I have searched for drivers for this thing and have had no success. Do they just not exist? I'd really like the game port to work...
Thanks in adv!

I had heaps of trouble installing my audigy 4 in vista as opposed to xp, just try and find a driver from the manufacturer that supports 32 bit vista, then spend 5 hours configuring everything cause vista has nfi what it's doing. Also when I was installing I had some random things in device manager that shouldn't of been there but were gone when installed.

The only thing I have ever really had trouble with in Vista is the sound....
I've searched the creative site, selected the model and what not, and they dont have one driver for vista. If vista didnt automatically install the card from windows update, I would have no sound working either.
I also tried downloading a "game port" driver from the MS catalogue, but it wouldnt install..
