[edit] 4.1 controversy
I've been thinking about this so-called controversy or mis-marketing. Is there any advantage to doing the frequency filtering on the sound card vs. the speakers? It's still 4.1 audio, even if it's not done by the sound card. Games themselves don't filter out the low frequencies to a special channel, so it's not like there's data loss between the game and the speakers. Games see a 4.1 setup as "quadraphonic" I believe. [1] I'm thinking the 4.1 notation is more referring to the speaker systems than anything on the computer.
And, 4.1 is certainly not limited to Creative. Aureal's cards, Ensoniq AudioPCI, Philips Seismic Edge, and many others offer identical 4 speaker output with no sub channel. --Swaaye 17:35, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pictures
Added very high quality / high resolution images. (Spc01)
[edit] Live! Player 1024 etc.
This page does not mention the revision of the Live! series after the initial release. The revision added a SPDIF-Out to the series (Live! cards had none before) and the card could use 1024 synth voices instead of previously 512(?). The newer model was sold as "Live! Player 1024" in Europe (retail version was a CT4760, bulk version was a CT4830), different names in other regions. Corrent me if I'm wrong. --Keelhaul 18:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Adding a section
Somebody should add a section relating to problems installing driver for SB Live! series on winxp using VIA & some nForce chipsets motherboards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.51.34.232 (talk) 12:18, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Also problems related to stuttering sound from some win2000 machines
[edit] minor point about Value
This statement is factual but incorrect. My CT4830, which is *definitely* a Value card, has the CD_SPDIF connector on it, and iirc there are other differences between it and the original Value —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.134.70.206 (talk) 16:42, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
