Hi!
    The reason that it shouldn't is because liveware 3.0 is already on your
system if you have a 5.1 card. Actually, it's on the installation cd, and
includes the audiohq software as well as the recorder and mixer software,
among other things. It's true that they don't give you the version number,
but trust me... you have it. Chances are the reason that they tell you not
to download it with a 5.1 card is that liveware includes a de-installation
program in it's downlad. That de-installation program is probably programmed
to remove previous versions. If it tries to uninstall a current version, bad
things may happen.

Sincerely,
Scathach
