Sound Blaster Live Drive Install

  • 1

I am having trouble installing a Creative Live Drive. There are two parts one being the soundcard SB0060 and the Live Drive is SB0010. I searched on driverguide.com and got the Live drive IR which is ‘Full remote center for live drive ir’. This did not install fully so I am not sure what to get now. I know this is a legacy device but would be nice to use the front live drive panel. The soundcard itself is working nicely previous to me installing the live drive. Ultimately i do not know if i have installed it correctly. I do have the user guide that i downloaded but i am not sure the data cable is correct. The previous owner of this gave me all the bits without a driver and not much detail. The driver i got does not state which OS this is for.

  1. Is there something wrong with the onboard sound? Make sure you have it disabled in the BIOS.

    The sound hardware you’re working with is fairly old. I’m surprised XP doesn’t have built in drivers for it. The 1st thing you need to do is get the sound card to work properly. Don’t worry about the Live Drive for the time being…leave it disconnected.

  2. Possible cause: The AutoPlay feature in your Windows system may not be enabled.

    Possible solution: To start the installation program through the My Computer shortcut menu:

    1. Double-click the My Computer icon on your Windows desktop.
    2. In the My Computer window, right-click the CD-ROM drive icon.
    3. On the shortcut menu, click Auto Play and follow the instructions on the screen.
