Just how many times have you found yourself downloading the wrong driver or application for your Creative Sound Blaster card just because you weren't sure which model it was? It's time you learned how to identify both serial number and product model.

You'll have considerably less trouble finding the exact driver or application you're looking for, even if you have to get to it manually.

Since some of the said drivers/ applications can cause unexpected errors due to the constant change in the specifications and operating systems, knowing exactly what product you own (model, generation, revision) will help you a lot.

Be advised that a lot of older products are no longer supported with the new operating systems and drivers for these models might become unavailable.

You can of course consider upgrading your hardware and benefit from all the technological advancements made since the good old days of the AWE32 cards.

As the product list is huge, please find your exact product in the Creative Sound Blaster group list. We'll be posting guides for all the Creative products in the future.
