The usual disclaimer: I have not verified these drivers, so try at your own risk.
These drivers should work for all SBLive! versions including the 5.1 series. However there are 2 versions available that I know of. The instructions for each version is slightly different, so take note!
Version 1
In this version, non-5.1 users need to use the 5.1 Live!Ware Apps to get them to work correctly. Our reader, Jason Erbskorn explains the procedure:
However, non 5.1 liveware users must install the 5.1 liveware apps for the audiohq apps to work correctly. You do this by downloading the lw 5.1 apps from creatives site, then executing the install program with a batch file, with a /w after the exe. EX "SBL51 /w" (No quotes though). Then all should work well. Be sure to uninstall your old LW first, then install the new apps, then install the wdm drivers. I have had no problems with these drivers/apps under win2k sp2.
Download: This version can be downloaded from here.

I have the same problem like Robert (sound is normal - video is fastforwarding). I use WinDVD 3.0 under Win2K SP2. The SP/DIF is activated only when I use 3219/3300 drivers. The 3300 driver is quiet when I use the SP/DIF sound.
What´s wrong with the driver? It seems to be that the first 2 seconds the video speed is normal.

i installed the wdm 3219 sblive drivers, i think the hacked ones.
i kept the original lw3 on my machine as well and didnt uninstll any older drivers before the install. And havent noticed any problems as of yet. but have noticed increase in general performance even with non sound apps.
my card is the original sblive value which doesnt have a digital out jack.
using windows 2000 sp2 pro.

i had the same fast forward problem with 3219. I messed alot with the drivers (sorry don't remember how i did it) but i installed surely the CD 5.1 drivers over 3219 and finally i now
have the CD drivers (3207) and everything works ok (5.1 form both windvd3 and powerdvd3) and no crackes in sound .(probably something is left over from the 3219).The only thing is i don't have the gameport enabled.
Os: winxp 2486

With the new drivers (build 3219) and SP2 SPDIF Out works in both PowerDVD and WinDVD2000 without any extra patches. My Only Problem is, if I use the Driver's builtin AC3 Decoding...Both Players Use 100% CPU
And the movie fastforwards with the Sound Playing at the normal speed
Anyone have a solution for this?
