• At this day and age, is a Creative Sound Blaster LIVE! any good?
    8 replies, posted
I have this old PCI Creative Sound Blaster LIVE! sitting around and it has more speaker outs (black, yellow and green) than my onboard sound card (only green). I do have a 5.1 surround sound speaker system, but I know this card is pretty old and I haven't bothered to install it yet. Is it worth it or would I probably have better sound without it? Any input at all?
I have one of them, the drivers fuck up and don't work at all when I try install it, Creative Labs doesn't even have installers for it anymore. When it did work I could not tell the difference between that and my on-board, and you can use 5.1 by just plugging in the green and pink and it works. I really wouldn't see any point to be honest, not much of a gain just a big pain.
Holy shit, I didn't know that, lol. Alrighty cool, I'll try that out. Thanks man!

I don't know, I think I've tried it once before a while back and I couldn't find shit for it. The sound was terribly scratchy and I was running a x64 bit OS (still am). I wasn't sure if it was just my experience with it. It's expendable anyways, my dad brought in a bunch of old computer parts from work for me to play around with and this was in there.
you should totally give it to me

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~;23320514]You want everything. Go figure :what:[/QUOTE] I'll gladly take any gift. I actually do need a new sound card (one that works well with ALSA, ie. sound blaster live) but if I can get one for free that's perfect
