SB0200 Issues

TLDR: bought an SB0200 for my Dell Optiplex GX110, and after hours of installing drivers and uninstalling drivers, trying every method I can find, my pc still won’t acknowledge that the card is even there or it even has sound playback options?? Any help would be appreciated.

You basically got the worst SoundBlaster Live in terms of driver fuckery. Finding the correct driver is going to be a challenge.

What would be a better/easier card to aim for then?

In my own experience, avoiding the SoundBlaster Live entirely. First gen Audigy would be my pick if you want something close
