I'm using the native XP drivers for my SoundBlaster Live! Value. Most things work fine. However, I'm trying to do videocapture with 48khz audio (my InstantDVD capture box uses the LineIn of the soundcard to capture audio). With the native XP drivers, I'm only capable of capturing at 44.1khz. Will installing the Official Creative XP drivers give me MORE CONTROL over things like this audio capture rate? I want to capture at 48khz audio. Thanks.

I had the same problem. My fix was to install the hotfix, uninstall the hotfix, the re-install the hotfix. Wierd, but it worked. Also, before you do this, remove any Adaptec/Roxio/Nero software. The built-in Roxio DirectCD does not like them. CloneCD is fine, as is some other "burning" stuff like Ulead MovieMaker, Sonic MyDVD3.

The patch is a Windows XP update. Run "windows update".

I finally got my problem fixed. My system: Gateway 6400 server w/SCSI SCSI HDD Motherboard IDE: factory CDR on primary master, Liteon 12x CDRW on secondary master Maxtor PCI Ultra100/IDE card with two HDDs. Soundblaster Live Value 1394 firewire PCI card No other hardware WinXP Pro My inconclusive findings: 1) Clean install from format did NOT fix the problem. My LiteOn 12x burner was still NOT recognized as a CDRW. 2) The "upperlimit/lowerlimit" registry fix did NOT fix anything. 3) Initial install of MS CDRW update patch did NOT fix the problem. XP burning capabilities failed at this point. 4) Uninstall of MS CDRW patch and REINSTALL of MS CDRW patch seemed to fix everything. Why would this procedure work???? Now the XP burning function works proplerly. CloneCD works fine. MyDVD works fine for burning CDs. WMP burning works fine. I am not going to try Nero or any other burning software at this point. Maybe it is an issue with my mobo?? SCSI/IDE configuration??? Anyway, I got it working but I'm a little gunshy about tinkering with the configuration or installing more burning software until this issue is fully understood and resolved...

Problem: After attempting to burn a CD with nero or clonecd, my LiteOn 12x (secondary master IDE) CDRW drive "disappears" from Windows Explorer and My Computer. Upon rebooting, XP Pro finds new CD-ROM and asks for the XP CD to install new hardware. And Nero does not work right. It either recognizes the CDRW as a 1x speed or a 35x (or some crazy value) speed. And it often times will not successfully burn a disc. All was working fine for a couple of weeks. My most recent installs was a ADS "USB Instant DVD" capture device and related software, including MyDVD authoring program (maybe the culprit??). I also recently did the WinUpdate Roxio patch. My other CDRom drive works fine (primary master IDE). I had a similar problem with Win2K which turned out to be Media Player 7. When I removed WMP7, all was back to normal. Any help with this very elusive problem is appreciated.
