Try using the kX project drivers (www.kxproject.com I believe). I don't remember having that problem with my Audigy, but using the kX drivers - while less user-friendly - certainly helped in other ways, and I Can only assume that bug wouldn't show up in kX either.

I actually tried those, but I'm guessing becuase it's USB, they don't work. Anyway creative updated the driver and it's all good. What really agitates me, is I lost the driver CD, ended up blowing away the PC, guess what, creative doesn't offer the driver for download. They only offer driver updates, you actually have to purchase a new driver CD, the website makes no mention of the drivers listed only being updates, so you figure it out the hard way then when you contact creative, thats when they hit you up to pay them for it. Ended up getting a driver disk off ebay, then finding the original driver disks a day after the transaction completed. It's that kind of crap that makes me start boycotting products, regardless of how great they are, if you can't even treat your customers with decency ya don't get my business... just my small rant.

I found that too with a creative modem I bought. I don't even use the cd normally I just go download the driver but not this time.

They've been doing that for years. Since about 1999 or 2000. I remember when my SBLive driver was no longer downloadable and it pissed me off.

The original SB Live had the drivers online but Liveware 3 was only partially online. If you wanted the minidisc app + a few other things then you needed to buy the CD. The actual drivers were still online though.
