No, it won't work on Windows 7 as there's no compatible driver for it. It's an old, discontinued model which hasn't received any new drivers since Windows XP. Had the Same problem (today) updating a XP PC (P4 series) to Windows 7. (since XP is now discontinued) BUT No driver for the Soundcard (SB Live! 5.1) Did a google search, tried the 3th party driver (works) but did get errors and even a BSOD. SOLUTION That Works Using Creative Drivers: Find your installer CD that came with your SBLive. (or find torrent of the ISO - search for: Soundblaster) Copy the Driver directory to your HDD (or USB drive) then select the EXE file in the Root and go to properties, then select to run in: XP SP2 comp.
Then run the EXE.now it will install the 'old' WDM driver and you got sound. I disabled the Game Port after install. Seems to be stable. Got sound and no futher issues. Hope this helps.
