Don't do it! Software just screws up everything!

Ok, maybe a few programs for benchmarking purposes and the SETI client.

But that's it. Why mess with perfection?

Same thing happened to me - no sound when I first installed win2000. I did not install creative drivers because I new they would not work, from other posts. Win2000 (2195) loaded it's default sblive drivers. The problem was I was using digital out. When I switched to from the rca jack to the mini-jack on the sblive straight into the amp it worked fine. The digial out does not work with the standard drivers. It also supports only 2 speakers.

What dwright said.
I notice you have FPS2000, you are probably using the digital connection, switch to the analog out and see whether you have the problem still.
SBLive analog works (supported) since RC2

I don't have rear speakers either. Don't think the bundled drivers have 4-speaker support. Here's the email I got:

<blockquote>Jon,

We will not be providing support for Windows 2000 until it is released as a retail product on February 17. After this date, we will be releasing drivers for our currently shipping products as they become available.

Please include all previous correspondence when replying to this message!
