Creative Soundblaster Live 5.1 Driver for Windows Vista Download
Posted by David • Apr 22nd, 2007 10:41:41 am - Subscribe | Mood: tired | Music: No Music at this time
For all of you guys that have had no luck installing your Creative Soundblaster Live 5.1 Driver on Windows Vista, here is a resolution that works!
After I installed Windows Vista I noticed that windows update did not support my Creative Sound Blaster Live 5.1 so I decided to look for an alternative driver. I tried the following programs that did NOT work.
So I went straight to my manufacture...Dell. I begain looking for my computer type, then by its model. I noticed that a old driver was avaliable.
Direct Download from Dell Servers
Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Digital
(Note - You do not need a Dell to download this Driver, its from Creative)
So I downloaded it - Right Clicked on it > Properties > Windows XP Compatibility > Apply > Ok. Then I double clicked and installed.
Luckly, after 2 hours of searching I found a resolution to my audio problems window Sound Blaster Live 5.1 for Windows Vista. All of you that have a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2, this should also work for you.

Be sure to follow the directions strictly as they are written in blue...it's not hard
Here's a mirror of the file you have to extract:
SBXF_PCDVT_LB_2_13_0012.exe
And this WORKS FOR EVERYONE that has a Sound Blaster 5.1 Digital on Vista

I tried the driver in XP Compatible mode and it told me that it could not find a SB Card inthe system, although there is one installed and loaded with the vista driver that only gives stero sound....any hints? 
david Says:
May 14th, 2007
My recommendation would be to uninstall any audio drivers that may already be present from a past installation. Then proceed with the steps listed above.
anonymous Says:
May 14th, 2007
hi David,
Thanks for the response. On my first attempt, there was no drivers loaded. The card appeared in Device Manager with a yellow !
david Says:
May 14th, 2007
Ok try this, unless you already figured it out. Go to the device manager and uninstall any present drivers. Once that is complete, give the PC a reboot. One that is done make sure that you are installing the correct sound card driver. I've been through many installations of different sound cards in the past, and not all sound blasters are the same. Once that is done proceed. If possible, give me a full name of your soundcard.
anonymous Says:
May 15th, 2007
Hi dude! Thanx but it's not working for me. I downlaoded this exe file and ran it in Win XP compatibility mode. The files are extracted and the setup program starts. But then without showing the wizard it says that a Creative sound blaster 5.1 was not found on my system. Anything i can do for this, please? Thanx a lot!!!!
anonymous Says:
May 15th, 2007
hello from Portugal, I got the same message went for the ngocmd.exe witch i had already installed without sucess so i ran it again and now its working fine. make shure the plug & play OS is set to yes in your bios.
good luck and tks to david anyway

Glad I could help out. If anyone else needs help, just comment and I will get an email stating you've commented.
anonymous Says:
May 20th, 2007
ok so this is what i did:
first i went to device manager and under other devices i uninstalled the "multimidea audio device". it didnt even recognize it as a sblive at this point. then i downloaded Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Digital driver and put it on xp compatability. then i installed. nothing happened though. i didnt get any errors. it never really asked me anything. it just extracted and then installed but my card still isnt recognized.

anonymous Says:
June 01st, 2007
Okey,this is what I've done lately,but the problem still persists and this seems to be getting out-of-hand,and Microsoft & Creative should really spend a huge time & effort for fixing this huge problem.What I did was install a fresh copy of Vista Ultimate on my PC.After installing I've noticed immediately that my PC has no sound whatsoever,after investigating a bit in device manager (Which showed my sound device having that yellow thing.),and attempting to install my Sound Blaster Live! driver from the original cd (Which would not recognise the driver.).I have aslo tried you're suggestion of installing the driver posted in you're blog and putting it in XP mode compatible,but the problem still persists saying: "Setup could not detect any sound blaster audio card in your system."Any posts concerning this problem is a BIG thanks..
david Says:
June 01st, 2007
Be sure to uninstall any existing driver that may have been installed prior, once that is done it should work.
anonymous Says:
June 02nd, 2007
Hi!
David, great work that you are at least making the effort. Unfortunately I have the same problem that it mentions a Soundblaster sound card could not be found.
How can I determine the exact make and model of my card? I'm pretty sure it's a Live 5.1, but I'm afraid I'll have to pull it out of the machine first.
I've also tried extracting the files to a folder and by installing the new drivers navigate to that folder. Didn't work either.
When I did that while internet drivers (by MS I presume) where installed through "Update drivers" and then navigated to the unpacked information it mentioned that the drivers installed where up to date. (However the sound was still crap.)
Any other ideas? Thanks!

anonymous Says:
June 08th, 2007
Thanks for the tip at the top. I tried the steps that you outlined. Found that I had to do two more things for the driver to finally get installed:
1) I made sure to uninstall the audio entry in Device Manager before installing the CD Driver
2) I made sure that I went to the Dell/Drivers/R69382 folder and made sure that the file SBLA05W.exe was set to run in XP compatibility mode.
Thanks again.

anonymous Says:
November 10th, 2007
If you get the "unable to detect" error message, here's the fix (this has been a known fix for years - even for Windows XP):
Install a program like WINRAR so you can right-click the downloaded .EXE and extract it to a folder. In the folder is another compressed folder called DRIVERS - extract that one too. Inside THAT folder is a program called "CTZAPXX". Run it - it will ask if you want to install the drivers (gee, you think we do after all this?). Once you accept the install, it will ask for a reboot. You should already have sound as it plays the Windows shut-down sound as it reboots. This has always worked for me on all machines!

hey david
Could you confirm that SB 5.1 Live works fine with the Vista Update

I am unable to confirm anonymous November 22nd, but I am pretty sure it will indeed work. Keep in mind that this is simply a driver, and honestly...its not a really 'a good one'....but all and all it works. Can anyone please verify?

Hey david
i have changed to Windows Vista Ultimate now, and it has updated the C 5.1 SB Live Drivers.......now the thing is that: IT WORKS WELL.....but only 3 of my speakers work(Left Right and Subwoofer).....Otherwise if i click: Sounds ==> Playback ===> Configure(5.1) and Test Each Speaker WORKS Fine!!!!......but otherwise only 3 work......i have searched like hell passed few days....and i found this:

forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=Vista&message.id=26559

The only problem is that the two files i need to activate surround sound are on rapidshare....which does not work in my country.
If any of you could find the same 2 files in the link please let me know.
The files:

If you hear distortion sound, change speakers to 4 or 5.1
Sounds in Windows Vista enviroment (music, mouse sounds,theme sounds,etc.) have only two channel, this is windows vista problem not hardware sound problem, multichannel sounds work only in OpenAL games how "Bioshock", "Prey" or DVD 5.1 surround sound movies.
Note: For multichannel sounds in windows vista environment, you have to enable Speaker Fill option in control panel - sound enhancements setting in my naimadekar driver mod.
I test multichannel 4 and 5.1 sounds successfully in Bioshock, prey, crysis and Virtua tennis 3 games!
You can try too, other driver how Daniel_k mod this work great and have support of CMSS and Stereo Surround too! Here:

Assuming that Vista recognizes your card and it works fine with distortion, then the following should work well.
1. Go to Start > Control Panel and click on Classic
View.
2. Double-click on Sound and single click on
speakers.
3. With Speakers now hilighted, click on the
Configure button on the bottom left.
4. Assuming you have two speakers and subwoofer,
choose 7.1 Surround and click next.
5. On the next screen, uncheck everything but the
subwoofer and click Next.
6. This screen leave only the Front left and right
option checked.
7. On the next screen, click Finished and back at the
Sound screen, just click OK.
8. Enjoy the sound! :-))

installing srivers for vista is very simple ...
just insert your Sound Blaster 5.1 CD in the rom
go to device manager and update driver of your sound card
in the update option give the location of your cd and your drivers will be automatically installed
i am using sond blaster 5.1 with M5300 speakers and enjoying them a lot with vista
so give it a try and reply .....

Hi, i just installed the new windows 7 on my pc, its running great, searches automatically all the drivers and stuff... its installed my creative 5.1 drivers, but just in case i downloaded the realtek hd audio manager.... when test the 5.1 all the speakers work perfectly, but whenever i reproduce a song only the 2 front side ones work, i would like to know if there is any configuration i would need to change on the wmp, although Ive searched all over and havent found anything.
Million thanks

those are the drivers of for the sound blaster card, but i dont have tht one, my audio comes straight out from the mother board, by 5.1 i mean the speakers, any other suggestion?
anonymous Says:

I know you have probably answered this but I have a sound blaster live 5.1 (it was installed back in 2000) we just up graded to vista bacause we had a virus (it just wouldnt go away so we reformatted and added vista) now our speakers will not work. I run the cd for it but all i get is the blue window that asks which language and after i click english I get nothing. I have tried everything to find a driver online but no sucess gggrrrr.... there is no drivers for it at all on my computer or for my speakers any sujestions? and dont tell me get a new system my bf is way to cheap to do that. lol
oh yeah and I am moderatly computer literate so step by step directions would be a great help.
Thanks guys

I have windows 7 installed and trying to find drivers for my soundblaster 5.1. Win7 doesnt recognize'em. What a shame! Why is the RIVA128 card driver included but not SB driver? (came out at the same year)??
Any idea where to get win7 drivers for my sb 5.1 card?
p.s. I have a realtek sound card onboard of my P5Q mainboard but just when I installed Windows 7, I have not much sound. Can't look a movie is someone talks in the room, LOL!!
yeah I checked all the sliders, mixers and 80% sound dampeners in Win7. To no avail.

I have a SB Live! and was trying to get it working on Windows 7 (this applies to Vista as well I imagine). There are no Win 7 or Vista drivers. But the Windows XP Universal driver pack DOES work. Goto the Creative labs website (support.creative.com) and search for this " LiveDrvUni" . Download and install. This is meant for XP but I guarantee it works, I just got it working on Win7.
anonymous Says:

None of the above mentioned work for my SBL SB0200 on Windows 7 x64.
Nor do KX Project or Daniel K's modded Creative drivers.

I had problems running SB Live! 5.1 on Windows 7 but followed the steps provided in the second solution at the top of the page and now everything runs perfectly. It's the only solution that actually worked. Thanks!

Umm... none of these files exist any more?? Now what??
anonymous Says:
December 12th, 2009
Just got this working 12/12/09 using some tips above summarized:
Goto Creative's support page and search for "LiveDrvUni-Pack(ENG)" then download to desktop.
Single right-click the executable icon on the desktop (the one you just downloaded), then single left click "Properties". Select "Compatibality" tab in the properties box and check box "Run this program in compatability mode for:" (I selected WinXp SP2).
Apply/OK then double click the executable to run this old Creative install program. It may not work for everyone, but this install worked for my Win7 installation and kept working after reboot.

This is a long thread but it leads inevitably to the truth
........ excellent job guys.
Now have Windowseven WITH Sound Blaster Live...I believe most of it is working well enough to record Midi, Aux etc.
Sounds...........Sounds wonderful ... dont forget to; follow instructions to a tee (roughly), use Google for more drivers than are necessary and configure your speakers to 5.1 (a must do!!!!!).
This cards 10 years old...who would have thought... ; )

I am having trouble finding a working driver for Windows 7 - 64 Bit for a Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Audo Card Model# SB0100
I downloaded driver file SBL_PC64DRVBETA_LB_2_03_0005.exe which I think is a 64 Bit Sound Blaster Live! update, but Windows 7 does not allow it to be installed because it is not a digitally signed driver. It also seems Creative is no longer supporting these old cards with new driver updates.
I love the card though. I have bought more recent sound cards and the sound of this card is still much better than the more recent sound cards I have bought. So I would like to keep using it if possible.
Are there any driver solutions?

For all Windows 7 64bit users. This is my sollutions. It's a non official SB Driver and is a Uneversal generic sollution. Go to:
h**p://drivers.softpedia.com/progDownload/Creative-Sound-Blaster-Live-Live-5-1-kX-Driver-51003548-x64-Download-82308.html
Dun forget to replace the "http" in the link.
Install it. And it requests u to reboot. Do so. Then Right mouse click on the speaker on ur taskbar. Select playback devices > then select 1 of the 3 or 4 choices given where it says kX. U can identify it by selecting test. U will now hear sound form ur speak or in my case, dual sound card use for DJ mixing purposes.
Good Luck, i hope this helps.
Ys,
RoxX
