Sound Blaster Live 5.1 (Windows WDDM Drivers)

I've downloaded the Sound Blaster live 5.1 drivers from Windows Updates... but i am not getting any feedback for audio... any suggestions anyone? yes all basic and sum advanced trouble shooting has been done...

i'm running vista ultimate x64



if u need any more info please lemme know

 

Personal experiences recently has made me shun all 'windows' update drivers as they have wreaked havoc with systems, I would suggest using only the latest Creative drivers.

 

I`d love to use creative`s end of life drivers for vista (cough) i mean XP but since release of vista u can no longer run xp drivers for vista with proper support because u need Open AL Support and unfortunately XP does not have Open AL Support...



any suggestions?



Sempron x64 2600+

1GB DDR1

160GB Primary

Gforce 6200A

Vista Ultimate x64

Motherboard is

Compaq - K8S-LA (I think) no Asus Support for the board as it`s a proprietary Compaq board

Sound Blaster Live 5.1 24bit

Onboard Realtek ALC658





so here is my total delema

I got the WDDM Drivers working for the SBL but then it craped out.... now it won`t detect in any of my PCI Slots i haven`t tested to see is the slots are toast but the cards not because it works in my other computer... so i re-enabled my Onboard no WDDM drivers from M$ for it... so realtek.com.tw it is... i download the AC`97 vista x64 drivers installs fine speaker (beside clock) has volume now not a red circle with a white x.... no audio....ok failed attempt so i remove tho`s drivers completely even with registry... install the HD realtek drivers installs fine well minus the fact they (were not designed for my chipset) speaker has volume and the "device is working correctly" well? I really do not know what to do... and yes i have driver signing completely disabled

 

Recent Microsoft updates disabled driver signing. You need to uninstall KB932596 and KB938979 as well.
