Hi, thanks for the drivers on Sound Blaster Live 5.1! It works well but I wonder why it is limited to 2GB RAM. in PC I have 8GB RAM and that’s the problem. If I take the RAM, everything works without a problem. What follows this limitation of 2 GB RAM and can it possibly somehow removed? -I love these old sound card and I do not want her to give up even today. Thanks for the info, Regards Zdenek P. – Czech Republik

I tried to install this driver for SB Live! CT4830 on Windows 10 build 1703, but it’s not working. Code 28: drivers of this device are not installed.
Installation was succesfull, I reset my computer after it.
Any suggestion?

Works perferctly with Win7 32bit
Thanks a lot. It saved my day 🙂

Hello,
I have been trying to download the SB_Live_SupportPack_2_5.zip. However, I cant seem to hold the internet connectiction.
I get an error, such as:
Abort, you reached your download limit for this file. Try again in 30 minutes. Subsequent tries will ban your IP : 64.136.26.153. Try after : 18:50:55.
Can you help?
Hello,
thank you very much for this unofficial drivers. I don´t know what is the problems of other guys, but as for me my SB Live! Value 4.1 is functioning properly (even) under WinVista x64 SP2 with 8GB installed! My old PC is running on Supermicro C2SBA+ II. motherboard with Core2Quad Q9650s and 4x2GB DDR2 800MHz RAM Kingston. Up to now without any issues, but I didnt test mic input.
The only “trick” which I must bypass during standard install is that I ought to manually run “setup.exe” from sub-directory “\Drivers”.
Thanx a lot!
