STAY with the liveware from the cd that came with your soundcard,the download is real buggy.

Liveware has a program in it called creative launcher,this program is needed to enable the rear speakers.

I hear sound from my rear speakers fine with just the drivers... but I might install LiveWare soon just to see how it improves the sound... if it does.

The Platinum 5.1 CD comes with LiveWare 3.0, so there is no reason to upgrade.

Creative Launcher is not needed to enable the rear speakers. The AudioHQ control applet that is installed along with Live!Ware is. Creative Launcher is an annoying POS. I keep it uninstalled.

Remember that the 3.0 Liveware CD that ships with the SBLive is different than the one that ships with the platinum version.

Where did you hear that? That's one of the funniest things I've ever heard. All you need is the drivers, you don't even need AudioHQ as someone else suggested.

Good to see someone keeping CL Tech Supp in business.

so how can i unistall the stupid live ware?

when i was installin' my Live Value, i had problems with Liveware..it really is a POS...so i suggest you don't install it, the only good thing about Liveware is that it allows you to play with EAX and that's not too big a deal.

I have a live platinum 5.1 too, my cd got totally cracked the other day, ugh. I tried to use the downloaded version too and it won't work and now I don't have audio. Does anyone have the 5.1 cd that can send me a image or files needed or something?
thanks,
Daniel

 

[mylam]

but now i dont see any uninstall option

You can probably install the correct version on top of that and just edit msconfig or the win2k startup files so it doesn't load the creative launcher and whatever else you don't want it to load each time. I've never done it so I don't know for sure if that would cause a problem thought just installing on top of the old ones.
