I searched for several hours last night on getting the SB Live card to do DD passthrough and DTS passthrough under W2K. I got much conflicting information. So let me ask a few basic questions about where we stand today.
1) I understand that W2K and SP 2 are required. Correct?
2) Which drivers work and where can they be found?
3) Do I need to get a CD first from Creative, or can I just download the driver?
4) Does DD and DTS passthough both work?
5) Does WinDVD and PowerDVD both work? If WinDVD works, does v3.x work? I guess I'm ulitmately interested in the ATI player too, but frankly I much prefer WinDVD and PowerDVD.
6) Do certain versions of SB Live cards work and others don't?
7) Am I better off trashing this card and getting a m-audio card?
