    Hi all!

    I am having a strange problem with the sound card , and I need some technical help

    The sound card of my PC is a Creative Sound Blaster Live! Value 1024 (that I bought in the end of 2001). So, it’s not a new device…

    Anyways, I never had any trouble with it… Recently, I have changed my pc so i have fixed the card into new pc..when iam trying to install the software the speaker
    selection is limited to 2.1 and 4.1 speakers. i even tried changing in Audio HQ and
    i dont see any option for 5.1 speakers other than this i have even downloaded new version of software still the same problem is repeated .........

    so, I would like some opinions about what can be happening…

    Any information / hint will be very appreciated!

    Thanks in advance for any help !

    If you right click the little task bar speaker icon and then click 'adjust audio properties' and then click 'speaker settings' 'advanced' and then click the 'v' at 'speaker setiup', do you get the option?

    Are you sure that you should see the 5.1 option? Earlier Live! cards had 4.1 output max.
