Well peeps after twitting about with 3 different sound blaster cards 3 different driver discs for three hours I now have that anonymous Sound Blaster Live card working as a "sound blaster live value card",which I do not think it is,
Have a sneaky feeling it was the Cambridge sound surround sound Amp/Sub woofer that had been given a fright,kicked that around a bit and tiz working fine again.
Next obvious step is to put back the original Sound Blaster 5.1 card,and load the drivers for that,the sound quality is a tad better.
Incidently I got a Sony surround sound sytem for me telly, it is never used becuase small hound does not like it as the powered sub woofer just about lifts the roof off , this has a 5.1 input ,anybody know if the Sound Blaster live 5.1 would work this?
