OK, kinda of a long story.  When I got my new board a year AGO (it's a biostar) I never could get the onboard sound to work.  It was supposed to have SURROUND sound and all that, I only use 2 channel speakers.  So I wired the headphone jack that came on my tower to the board and I got the left channel.  

About 3 months ago I started upgrading and bought new speakers (still 2 channel.)  I also bought a no name sound card for 8 bucks.  Long story short, while gaming it would quit working after a while and I would have to REBOOT to get any sound.  So, I met a guy in a computer store that gave me an ooooolllllldddd soundblaster 16.  That one worked great but every once in a while, my computer would LOCK up and it would blast this high pitch frequency.  

So, I looked on ebay and FOUND a good Soundblaster live! 5.1 card.  I got it and installed it, along with all the drivers, now I am back to square one, only 1 channel.  The old sound blaster worked fine.  I have messed around with changing the analog/digital options, along with a mess of other options but all i can get is the left channel.  Please help.Have you tried updating the DRIVERS
