Help! Can't install SB Live card in XP Home!

[JMI]

Hello,

I'm trying to get my Live card to work in XP Home. I installeed the card
booted up, XP found it, installed the drivers, rebooted, tried to play some
music in MediaPlayer and got

"Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with
your sound device . There may not be a sound device installed on your
computer, it may be in use by another program, or it may not be functioning
properly"

I checked Device Manager and there are no question marks anywhere. The Live
card IS there in Device Manager and everthing appears to be installed
correctly, but why can't I get any sound? When I goto Control Panel/Sounds
and Audio Devices Properties, "No Audio Device" appears at the top of the
Volume panel.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,

Jeff

The SB Live (Value) card is working fine here.
Support and XP drivers...
