Anyone got the Soundblaster Live Platinum Live Drive working on XP ? Mine never seems to respond to the remote 
Probably batteries have run out
but thought I'd check to see if it definately works ok.

Yep and it works really well even with the first set of drivers loaded from the CD. I updated the drivers as a precaution from the Creative website. How does it look on the Creative Diagnostics program? I'm sure you'll have checked it but just an idea.

Must be just me then. Have I got it connected right ? There's one power cable to the drive then one IDE type cable to the soundcard. There are other connection pins on the drive but I don't have a cable to connect to that one, should I have ?
I just put on the latest drivers, maybe I'll try the old ones first too.
Cheers

Yep, think so, where do you mean ? I disabled the onboard sound on my NForce board as it was distorted. It now only picks up the new card.

Yeah the cabling sounds alright. The power split cable (to system power supply) and the dark grey flat cable. There is also an optional digital din cable which you don't have to connect (but you may as well)

Cool, thanks for your help. I'll have a play about and see if I can get it going. How do I know for sure that the Live Drive working ? There should be a light coming from the Optical out and response from the IR control ?
