Hi Jeff and listers,
I have just downloaded the latest SB Live update and drivers. I will
install them tomorrow as it is quite late and keep you up-to-date.
Incidently, the download is quite large at 26.7 megs. They are going to
have it on CD with additional features that arn't in the download. I sure
do wish Creative would make their installations and interfaces more screen
reader friendly.
Thank you,
Jim Ellsworth

Jim,
I think I know what you are talking about and have experienced the
same problem. But for me, at least, this problem surfaces after a few
days of continuous use, not merely a few hours. Most people probably
turn their computers off in that time frame. I have guessed that it
might have something to do with a memory leak somewhere, but who knows
where. It seems that unloading and reloading JFW remedies the problem
for me, so that's what I've done up to this point. Of course, I'd
like to know of a solution if there is one, but I've always figured
there's probably much more than just JFW going crazy by this time, so
I restart my computer without much complaint. I wonder if these new
SB Live drivers would make any difference. I hope someone who has
tried them will report back on the list.

Hi Folks:
For some time now, I have been explaining that there is a problem with
JFW
and the SBLive cards; even with the latest drivers download. It could
be a
problem unique to Windows 98; I don't have access to Windows 95.
The problem is, that after using the computer and JFW for some time,
the
speech begins to stutter when other computer processing takes place.
I've
downe all I know to resolve the problem such as:
1. Disabling the MSDOS features,
2. disabling the sb16 blaster imulation,
3. turning the master effects off with the audio HQ program.
Of Course, the other problem is, that as far as I am aware, it is not
possible to independantly control the volume levels of the JFW program
and
other programs that are talking to the card. So, for example, if you
turn
down the volume using the Real Audio control, you also turn down the
JFW
volume.
With reguards to the processing problems using Windows 98, I was told
that
it's understood that one should reboot the computer after prolonged
usage
because the opporating system becomes sluggish.

No, Olga, I am talking about the new drivers which were just released:
lw2_w9x.zip
This is a 26MB download which I finally was able to get due to the
servers being so busy.
Mike, the SB Live works fantastically with JFW -- both version 3.2 and
3.3 -- it really doesn't matter to JFW.
The upgrade which Olga mentioned made a significant improvement to the
performance of JFW with the SB Live card. However, I would like to
know how these new drivers perform with JFW. I know others on this
list have the SB Live card. Please let us know your experience if you
install these new drivers.
