    1. This error will occur with Creative Labs Live! and Audigy cards when using the Creative Lab supplied WDM drivers in Windows 2000 and XP. The current solution is to load the Microsoft WDM drivers that ship with the OS or to use 3rd party drivers such as the kX Project Drivers. Please note that we cannot be responsible for technical difficulties arising from the use of non-official hardware drivers.
    2. This error also will occur with Echo WDM Drivers 6.01 and beyond when using 'Super Interleave Mode'. The solution is to change your Driver Bit Depth to 24 as recommended by the Echo Read Me file. This will not effect your ability to record 16-bit audio.
