Re: MD: SBlive with Hoontech DB III on Win 2000
working perfectly. When I installed Windows 2000 it stopped working. Of course in Windows 2000 i haven't installed the LiveWare software but the card seems to be working fine in anything else. Does anybody know what S/PDIF support comes purely through the drivers. Make sure the drivers you're using actually support S/PDIF. If they don't, find ones that do. No, I don't have an SBLive! so I can't help you beyond this. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

=== = NB: Over 50% of this message is QUOTED, please = = be more selective when quoting text = === It sounds like a driver problem to me. Windows 2000 really isn't Windows at all. It's Windows NT 5.0. I would contact the company that supplies the digital optical output capability. LAS Magic wrote: Hi, Sorry if this mail is irrelevant but I am in great need...

Re: MD: SBlive with Hoontech DB III on Win 2000
The CR copies of Windows 2000 really lack drivers. But Win 2000 is designed for business use more then people interested in doing things with video and audio. I'm not sure that Microsoft will ever develop drivers for many things. You had better hope that the sound card manufacture has develops a driver. Windows 2000 is going to very disappointing for people that are looking for a new version of Windows and not NT. NT is a true operating system, but it is not as user friendly as Windows.

I've done a bit of research on this, and basically i've discovered that we'll need to wait until win2000 is officially released to get a hold of some drivers and liveware software for W2K. I'd say Creative are sitting on a brand spankin set of drivers for the SBLive and are just waiting for that win2000 release date to hand them out (Feb 17 is it?). - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I thought microsoft were gonna do a "final" release of Win 9x aka Win 2000 for home users who may need support for DOS apps, and an update of NT called Windows Millenium for business users. I might have got those two MS app names mixed up and if so I apologise. I have also heard that Win2000 (the Win98 follow-on I mean) might not have a native DOS mode, ie it doesn't have your old AUTOEXEC.BAT CONFIG.SYS and can't run a lot of older programs. Is this true as if it is I will definitely stick with Win98 for some time. If it can run a stable and fully supported DOS session I may consider it (but please no horse jokes about the "stable" :-) And since this was an OS related email, hats off to the guy who ends "the day MS doesn't suck is when they develop a vacuum cleaner!".
