Hi, My computer doesn't seem to be recognising my live drive! There's no mention of it in device controls/audio hq where it should have options for muting speakers when headphones are used. Anyone experience this?

When closing down my pc (Win98) the speakers make a god awful noise. My mate has also this sound card and gets a similar thing happen. Have I done something wrong since getting this card last week or is this something I have to put up with? It's only for a 3-4 second blast right near shutdown but...

Before I run Doom3, I always have to run the Audio HQ and change the speaker settings to 4 speakers, then...

I've put in an order for an MP3 player at Amazon that does line-in recording, but have just come across the Creative Labs Soundblaster MP3+ (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000A14S4/026-2356576-5556416) which seems to allow you to encode straight to MP3 too - and at higher bitrates than...

Hello all, I have a sound blaster live 5.1 card and I used a mono jack to rca adapter to then plug an rca cable from the card into my surround sound system. I used the Surround Mixer and did the speaker test. Well it worked and didnt work. The front left and right speakers would work but they...

Greetings, I have a Soundblaster Live! in my HP Pavilion. For the past month or so, I have had an incredibly loud sound during startup. It's a single loud blast, that's so loud I have to turn off the subwoofer at startup for fear of damaging the speakers. The sound occurs after the "Windows XP...

(I've just stumbled onto this group, so please accept my apologies if I'm asking a typical newbie question, or if this topic has been addressed at length in other posts.) I had an Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum card installed a few months back, and while I'm real happy with the quality of...

Hello Can I use the Infrared port on my SBLive Plat to transfer data to/from Irda capable mobile phone? Any URL's for futher info would be appreciated. Sorry if this is a dumb q.

Some files in the soundcard software are corrupted and I would like to know if it would be safe to reinstall the soundcard software over the existing installation. I would normally uninstall and reinstall but the software is not listed in the Add/Remove programs list which suggests to me that there...

Hello, Is an old, basic sound card like the Sound Blaster Live 5.1, still better than the onboard audio of most recent motherboards? Sorry for my ignorance, I no nothing much about sound cards (yet). This card (Live 5.1) are very cheap to buy on ebay (less than 10 uk pounds), maybe I will buy...

I want to do digital recording to my MD and found I need an optical output addon for the sblive. I have seen the hoontech boards (cheapest option for me).

I installed an Audigy 2 and find that there's no level meter on Wavestudio as there was with the version of Wavestudio that came with the Live. Any idea why this is? I find no setting to add it or remove it.

Can someone make sense of the EAX control panel on the Audigy? There's a top section with several categories - ENV, EQ, FX etc. and to the right a bunch of settings that seem to duplicate the settings below on the "Master" section....??? How does all this work? Thanks!
