For those of you with an older SB Live! card who would love to use professional midi software that utilizes the ASIO control panel (Cubase, Nuendo, GigaStudio), never fear... Kx is here.
I've been using these drivers on my SB Live card for the last year and have to admit they are just as a good, if not better than, Creative's. Creative has never optimized their Live card drivers to work with ASIO control panel, thus making low-latency midi software impossible to use.
When asked about the presence of low-latency support for Live cards, Creative only stated that those who wish to use professional midi software should purchase their professional series cards. When asked if low-latency drives for the SB Live series is, or will ever be, in the works, Creative responded in the negative.

Uninstall your creative drivers and just follow the instructions on the website. These drivers prove to be an excellent way of getting around buying a $100 Audigy 2 card... simply use any SB Live card laying around.
