I just bought Sonar and need to live with SBLive5.1 card until funds become more available.
With my PC running windows ME, everything works great. Anyway this is my problem.
I use the SPDIF output to get 5.1 Dolby surround for my DVD movies (only one computer dual duty).
I then got this idea to ugrade HD to 20GB7200RPM and why not get windows xp to use the WDM drivers.
Well, using the original XP Drivers (clean install on new HD) Sonar basically works, 2 channels in, 2 channels out with the SBLive.
But the stock windows driver do not give me digital out SPDIF so no dolby for movies.
I update to latest creative SBlive5.1 drivers, so now DVD is great full surround sound but SONAR does not work.
When I do the system test (Audio) it reports the SBlive card as 1 channel in (mono) and 3 out. What these out are I do not know as I hear no sound out my speakers. Also the ouput led on the console view are dark and don't flash like they use to using windows me. I have tried MME drivers (1 in/1out reported).
Any ideas what to do to make both sonar and my dvd player happy??
Thanks
