Does anyone know how to get the HoonTech Optical Addon card to work with Sb Live Platinum?

See the thing was i bought the addon card when i used to have the sb live value card, but then i sold that to a friend and purchased the sb live platinum. I have the addon card hooked to the live drive where it says Digital i/o card. When i play music the optical cable doesnt emit the red optical light.. Is there anything i can do or is this a totally different addon card that is supposed to be used for the platinum?
 
kenndog, good question, i was thinking about getting the addon as well but i too have the true SB Live. Would be curious what other people have done in this circumstance?

Maybe the guys at hoontech might know?
 
Fellas, don't know if this will help or not but i had a similar problem with my sb live and hoontech card. kendog, i believe the hoontech will work fine. but when i got the addon card i had to completely uninstall my sblive, dl the latest & greatest drivers and live ware from soundblaster site (drivers that came with card would NOT allow addon to work), install the addon cards and THEN re-install the drivers that i had dl'ed. make sure Live Recorder, or whatever it is called, is installed when you reinstall the drivers. you don't have to use Live Recorder, but it has to be installed. hope this helps,
