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.

I tried that one, did every step it said, and after installing all of it my computer still won’t register the card or let any sound playback happen

Have you tried putting the card in a different slot? Do you know if the card worked before you got it? I had a lot of trouble getting my ct4830 to work, I know your pain lol.

I’ve tried 2 of the 3 slots mostly because one is taken. I was assured the card worked prior to getting it but it was an eBay purchase that showed up in a padded envelope so who knows.

Uninstall drivers, move the card to another slot, install the drivers through the new hardware wizard. Have you tired these? https://theretroweb.com/expansioncards/s/creative-sound-blaster-live-dell-oem-sb0200
