no news is good news think we really wanted to know about sound cards(pro)
sblive is a pretty antique card, on par with most onboard solutions today. don't expect anything special. a version with a "livedrive" which has a full-size microphone socket (rather than walkman headphone size) will be a more interesting prospect - hercules & terratec also sell cards with these.
i disagree. The sblive is obviously not as good as audigy but it is still a very good card in terms of sound quality, it is a lot better than most onboard solutions as it is a full hardware card as opposed to a dsp and can do a lot of very cool things with the soundfonts feature.

the s/blaster live is a decent card
but an audigy would be better or better still an audigy 2 card
i mean how much you gonna pay for a live 20 quid then 5 quid postage
when you can go to this nice link here and get a audigy2 refurb with 6 months warrenty from creative themselves
cost is 29.90 including delivery but be quick as i have spread the word already lol
thank me later

i have the sound blaster live 5.1 and to be honest i can't hear any difference between them and the onboard on my dads computer
for a full hardware card, odd that it has a dramatically higher CPU drain than any other sound card on the marketQuote:

My mate was in the room asking the q's after a few brews that night, just remembered that he posted, told him to get a better puter and an Audigy in the end cheers allQuote:
