In Sonar 2.0, I used to have the following options for the Input for audio
Sblive left channel
sblive right channel
sblive stero channel

however, after installing the latest drivers from creative, (and getting my midi keyboard to work), it shows under input for audio
sblive mono

?? What the heck...
I forgot to mention...
before starting up , it says that one or more sound cards do not support stereo... huh?!

Help!

Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Someone should shoot Creative.

Roll back the drivers to the ones supplied with Windows. The Creative drivers cause Sonar to see your SB Live as a mono card.
 
I have a SB Live Platinum and I didn't have this problem after installing the latest drivers from creative. Sonar still working just like before.

Maybe your Windows version. Mine is 98. Instead of rollback to Windows' original drivers, try reinstalling the drivers that came in the cd with your soundcard - they should be better than Windows'.
 
fkoliveira - I think this problem exists primarily with the WDM drivers in Win2000 and WinXP.

I suspect with Win98 you are priobably not using the WDM drivers anyway. But in any case, I haven't heard a lot of complaints regarding this problem with Win98. Almost exclusively with 2000 and XP.

That is definitely not the consensus of the Sonar newsgroup. Creative is notorious for supporting ASIO and giving lip service to WDM. Their WDM drivers were released way late, and then they didn't work right on top of that.
 
Rolled back the sb live drivers, now it works fine. I wonder why the heck creative released the drivers in the first place....:(

Because they are a totally clueless company and don't give a rats ass about their customers!

Seriously, these guys have no clue anymore and the crap they keep putting out and selling tries to be everything to everyone and pretty much fails miserably. e.g. Audigy - lets make it so it can acutally handle 24-bit audio but only let the customer play back 24-bit audio, but not record it!
