It also includes the following Creative Audio software suite ngocmd.exe - This applies to all Live! products, including OEM Dell, Gateway, HP, etc. editions, 24-bit, 5.1, and the rest. Vista 5308 may or may not find drivers on Windows Update, but even if it does, they will not support Digital Audio. So I went straight to my manufacture...Dell. I begain looking for my computer type, then by its model. I noticed that a old driver was avaliable. Direct Download from Dell Servers Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Digital (Note - You do not need a Dell to download this Driver, its from Creative) So I downloaded it - Right Clicked on it > Properties > Windows XP Compatibility > Apply > Ok.
