I bought a Sound Blaster Live! Value card (CT4780) on Ebay recently and haven't been able to get it to work. It was a bare card with no drivers. Oddly enough, I only get sound out of it when I play an audio CD. No sound from wav, mp3, or midi files. I've checked the standard culprits: sources aren't muted in the mixer, volume is turned up, no IRQ conflicts, drivers seem to be installed correctly, digital output is disabled. I thought it might be due to left-over drivers from the ISA sound card I had installed before, so I tried a clean install of Windows with just the Sound Blaster installed. No luck. The drivers came from the Creative web site for the Windows 98 SoundBlaster Live! Value. I'm running out of ideas to try. Does anyone have any suggestions?
