    I can't remember whether these are Beta or not, but they're the only ones I've managed to get my hands on. Dated 24/02/04.

    EDIT: Just checked them, and yeah, they're the ones that expire. They're only a preview set. What a stupid idea, programming a driver to expire!
    This driver package was built on 24-Feb-2004, and will expire
    120 days from that date. You will be notified of this
    expiration during installation, seven days prior to the
    expiration, and at the time of expiration. Once expired,
    these drivers will no longer function. Please check
    http://preview.creativelabs.com regularly for updated drivers.

    Uh, I've never used Soundblaster drivers that have expired. I've used the one on their site and a 5.12.5.441 version.

    To my knowledge the drivers I linked to above, are the only ones available. I just checked Creative's preview site, and they still have up the same ones that expire.

    We're talking 64-Bit drivers here VOE. :)

    Creative has beta drivers at http://preview.creativelabs.com/default.aspx that expire on 10/16/04. I had to install a old Live card. Cause I can`t get my onboard sound to work with 64 bit XP Pro :banghead: . Have a Asus K8V-X MB and can`t find drivers that will work. It no biggie my mb`s onboard sound is kind of crapy any way. :kneel:
