Sound Blaster Live! SB0200 with Vista
I was able to successfully have my Sound Blaster Live! SB0200 card recognized by Vista Home Premium SP2. I read through this post http://en.community.dell.com/forums/t/2938925.aspx and then I installed this driver from Dell http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R69382&fileid=90207.
Leading up to the solution was painful. And unfortunately not for your average user. Personally, I enjoy Vista. I installed a legal copy of Vista Home Premium on an older Dell. Hardware compatibility was the main issue. My sound card and wireless USB (needed to purchase a PCI card) were the most painful and time consuming.
Vista is great (even better when you purchase it pre-installed). Yeah I know... stating a favorable opinion of Vista is not mainstream or cool. However, it gets the job done... and sometimes even better than my MacBook.
