Creative Labs lost me when they decided that my SB Live 5.1 was 'outdated' and no longer deserving of drivers. Explain to me how a sound card ever becomes 'outdated'. I still have AWE32's from the mid 90s that work fine. But simply saying, 'no driver for you, pls upgrade 2 our fine line of new rehashed cards with higher #'s to make you think they are more win' is pretty pathetic. I now roll with whatever's built in to my motherboard and its more than sufficient... oh and actually has digital outputs that dont require funky little adapters or me to get the version with a $100 breakout box =)
