After searching high and low for Sound Blaster Live! Platinum Windows Vista driver, this is the conclusion:
Please note that the product you have selected has been classified as [End of Service Life]
The product you have selected has reached the end of its service life. Support for this product is limited to materials available on the Creative Customer Support website before its discontinuation. This may include Knowledge Base solutions, drivers, application updates and product documentation.
So no luck for Windows Vista users with Sound Blaster Live! Platinum sound cards. No drivers will be available for Windows Vista.
You are all crazy with Creative on top. You have any idea how much i spent for SB Live! Platinum in beginning of y2k??? Just to find it now there will be no driver for my perfectly working sb card??? Big deal to do some drivers for Creative but big deal for me to since the voice is crapy now with some fake vista drivers. Grr, make me never buy anything from Creative again!!
I share your anger too, Killy. I have spent a fortune too on a SB Live card and now does not work because of no driver support in Vista.
Also I have heard a lot of noise made by Creative users on the web. Guess it is time for Creative to rethink their strategy or to lose the customers forever.
