Have you used these speakers?

I have been using them for the past month now. I also have an $1800 Home Theater (dolby prologic) system. I think it is fit to compare these speakers to a much...

crazy~ Many CD-ROM drives that have a digital out actually DONT have a digital out. The item is there, just not used. This is the case with many OEM drives. The drive may have a connector that says...

I had similar problems with an Opti 930 card a few years ago. Sound would stutter or downright quite in some games (diablo especialy). I upgraded to an SB AWE 64 and the problems all went away.
...

The AWE 64 drivers will not work with the Live because they are totally different cards that use totally different audio chipsets.

And no, the live will not work under Win 3.11 because it is so...

First: there are probably still drivers in your system that are causing conflicts with the AWE 64. If you are comfortable with it, format and reinstall windows. If you are not comfortable with...

There is no DOS specific driver for the SB Live cards. There will never be one either (I contacted creative about that a while ago, because I was going to give Win 3.11 a whirl again for kicks).

The S/P-DIF in is for digital signals. The CD-IN is the analog connection between your CD-ROM and the SB Live.

A proposed MPEG-3 standard, intended for High Definition TV (HDTV), was merged with the MPEG-2 standard when it became apparent that the MPEG-2 standard met the HDTV requirements.

It may be a MB problem, or it may be an interference problem from something else.

But if you noticed it after a MB and processor upgrade, the interference is probably coming from it.

I...

I dont think either of those cards support multiple sound streams. The SB Live does. I can play files from Sonique, windows media player and from creative play center all at the same time with no...

In addition: The PCI128 is NOT an SB Live version. It is actually an Ensoniqe based sound card that EMULATES EAX.

All this info is available at www.soundblaster.com

Platinum: Includes some good software for making music and includes the Live! Drive bay module for making connections via the front of your...

Oh, I forgot I put my website in my profile. If you want to check out the review, go to my site, then the hardware section, then the reviews section.

I have to argue here. I am currently running an SB Live Value and the Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Theater 5.1 DTT2500 Digital speaker setup right now.

The sound from these speakers is amazing. ...

Its all in what slot you put the card in (what IRQ and I/O resources it uses)... I dont know exactly why, and I havent bothered looking it up.

My card used to be e400 Then I did a reformat and...

Noodle, please stop posting topics in all caps.

To answer your question, The SB Live has a digital i/o card that attaches to the Live for more i/o ports. It also has gold plated jacks on it, and...

Find the pnpisa.inf file on your NT cd, right click on it and click install. Then install the drivers for the device in the audio control panel.

Your welcome gp. http://www.hardwarecentral.com/discussion/smile.gif

If you already have an AWE 64 gold, I would not bother with the pci-128 at all. You wont get much benefit from it. The sound quality from the AWE 64 is better than the pci-128 (the 128 is actually...

There is a file on your windoze NT disk called "pnpisa.inf"

I have nt server 4.0, I dont know if it will be in the same directory on the NT workstation 4.0 disk.

Look in the following...

No, actually, if you read my post you would have seen that I was talking CANADIAN currency for the ACS 45.1's. In CANADIAN currency, the CHEAPEST I have seen the PCWORKS speakers is $100. Many...

Hmmmm..... SB Live hooked into Altec Lansing ACS 45.1's w/sub and Yamaha YST M-7's, no "plasty" speakers here.

I bought my good speakers first and got a sound card to do them justice after.
...

Gotta hate EAX emulation.

I would just run Directsound3D and forget about EAX, unless you get an SBLive. The EAX support is only an emulation, not true EAX like in the Live.

Is there any...

I have a bud with the same setup. Abit BX6 2.0 and sb pci 128. His works fine. I would try moving all your cards around in all the slots, try many different configs.

Try removing all other cards...

Maximum PC magazine rated the MX-300 a 9 out of 10. They said it was a good sound card, but had some problems and issues that kept it from getting higher.

They also gave the SB Live a 10 out of...
