Which gives better sound for gaming: SB Live 5.1 Digital or the onboard Realtek 850? Seems like some games really don't like to use the SB Live series especially if hardware rendering is enabled. BigSky

Hello, I have Logitech X530 (5.1) hooked up to a SB Live Card on my PC. All the plugs from the speakers have a place on the back of machine on the card without confusion. Problem is I cannot get any sound from the center speaker ever, even though it works in the SB test. I have already checked...

Help sb live value card drivers for winXP Where to download sb live value card drivers please help me as creative website is too confusing and their links dun work correctly..

Seeing how I was unable to find anybody with knowledge about the new Sound Blaster SB Live 5.1 cards, I must therefore believe that these cards have no genuine support group after all! All I required was a simple Console 32 application, fully Win95/98SE compatible, for playing a 1 second tone...

Has anyone experience this problem? If so, what did you do? I have the Soundblaster 2ZS Platinum Pro Soundcard. It seems when I mute the computer and then unmute it, the computer sometimes doesn't change the graphic that tells me that it's on mute or not. So even though I have unmuted the computer...

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.

Hi, I have a sound blaster live platinum 5.1, not an Audigy. When i install new setup from SB file "LiveDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe", i don't have the 5.1 speeker choice in the setup and after installation in HA/speaker i don't have this choice(5.1) ??? What's wrong ?? Thanks for your reply :)

Ok, I have a great home theater and just built a "home theater PC" (HTPC). I purchased the Creative Audigy 2 ZS for the HTPC, on the hopes that the card would communicate 5.1 surround sound information to my home theater, for DVD playback and enriching MP3 playback. One of the value-adds, in my...

Well I've no idea if anyone still reads this group but I'm going to take a swing at asking my question here. I've never had sound card problems and thus I've no idea what I am doing. I use a headset and microphone for gaming as well as voice/singing recording for a karaoke type website. One day...

I recently bought a 'Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Digital' card for my 2nd PC and find that the CD Audio socket for connecting the CDRW drive Audio Out to the Sound card is not present. Since then I've been told by the supplier that it's not required as the CDRW Drive transfers digital sound to the sound...

Trying to connect my Live to my stereo system (Harmon-Kardon amp - good quality), I always get a HUMMMM. The sound goes through but I have to listen to that hum. Using the headphone sound is clear. I have updated driver. Am using 1/8 inch outlet to the two 1/4 in (name???) connectors on amplifier....

My SB Live Value uses the I/O Addresses D000-D01F. This seems to work allright with Win XP. But it dosn't function with DOS 6.2 (I have Win XP, Win Me, DOS 6.2 and Linux on my computer - and BootMagic!). My DOS 6.2 programs insist that the I/O Address should be 220. But I can't change the I/O...

Hi, My laptop computer supports 5.1 surround sound (at least the manual says it does), but does not have separate outputs for each of the speakers. It does, however, have a digital coaxial output - would this output all of the individual signals for each of the speakers? If so, is there any device...

I have a problem with my Soundblaster Live Value card. In games the sound is stuttering every 5 sec for a moment. I have this problem in several games. i change the pci slot and tries a new driver. I don`t know what to do next. Is this a known problem? Is it possible that it depends of max CPU...

my comp has got some crappy inbuilt soundcatd with crappy speakers and i want to get some better sound (adicted Kazaa user). i am on a budget and was wondering what the best speakers were to go with a SB live5.1 digital. i was thinking of logitech z640's or creative inspires 5300. any horror...

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?
