SBLIVE and WIN2k

[MiniMe69]

I just installed windows 2000 and noticed that my sound blaster live sounds crappy on my monsoon 500s right now. I was previously running windows ME and everything sounded good...now my MP3s sound distorted and crappy.?? Is this just bad drivers? Is there another sound card that works better in windows 2000? By the way, I used to use altec lansang speakers with windows ME, I just recently switched to the monsoon 500s, but they sounded so good when I heard the demos.

SBlive cards have some of the best 2k driver support. try updating your drivers.

My SBL+W2000 works great. It's not the card man

My SB Live works great with Win2k.

Try updating the drivers, if that doesnt work, go to Creative Technical Support.

SB live Platinum works great for my win2K box. No problem or whatsoever here. Update the driver man!

I have SBLIVE value and win 98! I then upgraded to 2000 and my sound is great.

I'm in just about the same boat as MiniMe69. ANd I definately have the newest drivers. ALthough I do not listen to mp3's (I need to start doing that one day, just never get around to it) my sound in win2k just isn't as crystal clear as it was in 98se.
It doesn't really matter because I just switched to a mobo w/on-board audio and it sounds the exact same as the LIVE! card.

Anyone want to buy a sound card? hahhaha

Try changing the speaker settings in AudioHQ (in control panel). I'm using a SB Live Platinum on XP Pro (and previously in Win2k) and have not had any problems.
