Installing a sound card

[hneaz]

hey guys, i just got a Creative Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 cardfrom my mum's friend and i dun have the software with me. where do i download the software for the card? also, after putting the card onto the PCI slot, how do i shut down my intergrated audio from my Bios (how do i access bios?) and tell the pc to use the card?

just uninstall it from device manager...as for the drivers go to creative.com and go to support and its really easy youll see

In the past creative never had drivers on their site, just updates. I'm not sure if that has changed though. Check it out.

thx, it works now. it seems as though the fuzzy sound has disapeared after using this card, but i cant really hear the difference. maybe its my ears, lol. how do i benchmark the the integrated audio vs. Creative soundcard?
