Most of the time, when I try to play music from Musicmatch Jukebox, I get this:

MMJB Soundcard Problem

I have installed a SoundBlaster Live 5.1 Sound Card in my Dell Dimension computer. It worked for a month or two, then only plays every now and then. I useually get this message when playing MusicMatch Jukebox:

Waveout format not supported

When I try to play music from Yahoo Jukebox, I get
this:

Playback engine 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 nto be functioning properly.

When I click on the volume control in the taskbar, I get this:

No active mixer devices, (etc.)

I can get sound in other ways, for instance when I empty the trash, I get the paper crumbling sound. This works all the time. Or when I make and error and a pop up box comes up, I get sound.

I downloaded the drivers from Dell's website. Could there be a driver conflict. Why is this happenning?
