Is there a trick to installing this hardware? I have the vista drivers but
get message of failed install .

Says something about parameter error.

The workaround is to extract the SoundBlaster 24 driver file file using
WinZip for instance. Now go to the folder where you extracted the file. Find
the Drivers folder. Now in that folder click on Support. Now click on i386
folder. In that folder you will find the ctzapxx.exe file. Double click on
the file and the drivers should install correctly. Not a very smooth install
for sure. For some reason the SB 24 drivers have been a real problem working
under Vista.

I can't thank you enough for your answer to my problem. I had struggled for
a week on it.

Thanks/Thanks

Hey Andre,

I was wondering if you have your SB 24bit also running on Beta 2 build 5384.
I have an Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit 7.1 internal and I just cannot get it
to work under build 5384.
I followed your steps and even select the "disable driver signature" every
time during start up but nothing works.
any ideas...?

Thanks,
Thorben
