I never cared for the Live! cards so I stuck with other cards of the time. I am considering an Audigy but there is nothing wrong with my current setup so I havn't changed yet.
I have 2 Aureal SQ2500 cards and I love them both. I found them to have better quality and 3D effects over the SB-live!, jst uses a little more CPU. Too bad they are out of business. I hope Creative...
I agree Baloneyflaps. Asside from the possibility of getting some interference from poorly insolated wires, the different sizes are not going to make a difference.
For a computer, I'd have to say, espically if you are not an audiofile, go for the FPS-2000. (I am an audiofile and I still got them Good bang for the $ and the 5.1 systems were not out at the time)...
I like the FPS-2000, as those are what I have. They have earth shattering base and crisp highs. Ok, not earth shattering, but it suprised me how much they actually did have. I have heard the 1000s...
I stand corrected. the MX300 and the SQ2500 are close to the same card. What I was trying to imply was the fact that I think the SQ2500 should be compaired more to the MX400 or SB Live!. Not because...
I have an SQ2500. The drivers are a dream. Simple and small. I have had no problems with it accept a compatability issue with GeForce cards on some chipsets. (But then again, Everything has some...
I have 2 SQ2500 cards. Both of those machines have game controlers connected to those cards without issue. Not sure what to tell you. Maybe the game control itself might need new drivers, not the...
Setting the BIOS "Plug & PLay OS" to NO should just force the motherboard bios to set up the IRQs and Legacy devices. Setting it to YES should let the operating system set all of the device...
Well, IMHO, I prefer the A3D chipset to the Live! cards. I went through every Live! card they made and there was always something. Registry bloating (BAD!), or crackling sounds, incompatibalities,...
You are going to use open speakers at a LAN party? Why? Do you want everyone to know where you are or what you are doing? We always use a good set of headphones. Then you do not hear your neighbor's...
The V.2-400s are very nice but I like my FPS-2000s a little better. They have digital out put and come with all the hardware you could possibily want to set them up. Also, base output ROCKS! They...
The 4 in 1 drivers are available on VIA's web site. Those are supposed to help. I had an ALI chip set so ofcourse, they did not apply to me. I finally gave up on the Live! card (my 3rd) and took it...
