Speakers for soundblaster live 24

i`ve just installed creative soundblaster li've 24bit soundcard,could you tell me the best 7. speakers to buy with this soundcard. I`ve been looking at the creative inspire T7900 7. speakers are these compatable with the soundcard above.

bluenelly67,
Those speakers are compatible and are very good (especially for the price). The best 7. speakers we have would be the Gigaworks S750, but they are aimed at the higher end audio cards like the Audigy 2 ZS. They would work with the Li've! 24bit, but the feature set on the card really matches better with one of the Inspire 7. speaker sets.

  • No Support for SoundBlaster Live! Platinum

    I own a SoundBlaster Li've! Platinum 5. and recently discovered that it is the only piece of hardware not supported by Creative on Windows Vista (No Intended Development).
    It's Top product has no intended development for Vista. However, even the much cheaper SoundBlaster Surrond 5. has intended development. Am I missing something here?
    I replaced my old Windows XP Pro with the newer Windows Vista. All the hardware components of my PC have available for download, drivers and or software for Windows Vista, All but one, the most expensi've component, my much loved SoundBlaster Li've! Platinum 5..
    I am not complaining about the quality of the product, as I like to reinforce is outstanding. I am a music lover, which is the reason why I bought the SoundBlaster Li've! Platinum 5.. With the Li've! interface, I can connect all my analog equipment (VHS, Tape deck and Turntable) as well as use the remote control to control the PC. I changed the batteries of the remote last month, for the first time since I bought the PC. Impressi've, as most makers just use cheaper batteries which only last a month or so.
    My PC is only 3 years old. A P4 3Ghz with dual channel ram is still a fast machine.
    The Radeon 9600 graphics card is supported, The Leadtek Digital tv tuner is supported, Even the cheaper onboard sound (Realtek 7.), which I never use, is supported.
    Since this SoundBlaster Li've! Platinum 5. was the most expensi've of all SoundBlaster models, it does not seem right that Creative only supports the cheaper, everyday models.
    It does send the wrong message to consumers. I tells the consumer not to buy Creative's expensi've models and instead buy the cheaper models. Am I the only customer with this problem?
    Every single owner of this great model won't be able to update their machines to Windows Vista. Please Support this great model, Creative's own Rolls-Royce.

    I did not use the files available for download from this site. The original disks that came with my boards contained software for Windows 2000.When I upgraded to Windows XP, I rang the local?office of Creative and arranged to have the Creative?software for Windows XP?deli'vered by mail. I received a disc with all drivers for both boards and the remote control. It has the only way that I got it going on XP. The irony of buying expensi've, good quality boards is that the hardware outli'ves the operating system that it was built for originally. And to reward customer loyality, the hardware makers, stop supporting their own?flagship models in the hope that we will eventually buy their latest, more expensi've products, which in most cases is just a marketing exercise?at re-naming old?products, while increasing the prices of product lines which have poor customer demand. How many?Audigy 7. models have they been so far?99.5% of customers can not tell a SoundBlaster Li've Platinum 5. from an Audigy 7., based solely on hearing alone, since?both cards?have such similiar real world performances.

  • Problem updating drivers for soundblaster live value CT4

    Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help me, i have a creative soundblaster li've value sound card model no. CT4780 it's about 4yrs old and i am trying to update the driver as the last one to go on it was in 2002. I have been trolling the creative website and downloaded the automatic update driver search but when it finishes it says i have the most current update for my card. I have had a look at the Li'veDrvUni-pack and being a bit of a novice to driver installing i was wondering if that one would be okay for me to download and install. Would appreciate any help.....

    Hi Shrek
    I just listed my first post. I bought a dell Dimension XPS T500 in 999. It used a CT4780 that fed a good Altec Lansing speaker system. When I built my present budget PC I used the old CT4780 card. Because I?am using XP Pro I loaded Li'veDri'veUni-Pack.exe driver (released 280203). This worked fine.
    But I do not have the SPDIF working as yet. My MSI? MS-6533XG?Motherboard does have?header pins for SPDIF but?so far I haven't used them. I am looking for drivers to use if I can get the SPDIF connected.
    Do you have any info?on my needs?
    Thanks

  • Problem with DTT3500 soundset and onboard Soundblaster live! 24-bit

    Hi,
    I have bought a new PC with an MSI k8n sli platinum MB. this mainboard has a built in soundblaster live!24-bit chip onboard. it works great on headphones and normal 2 set speakers (analog connection).
    however, when I try to set them up at the DTT3500 speaker set, trouble begins.
    before continuing, just want to say First that my older PC is standing next to it, with a Soundblaster live! 5.1. If I connect with this PC to my speaker set, via the digital uitput, everythin works great. (5.1 surround).
    In the DTT3500 manual, when Digital DIN is blinking, it says it isn't recieving any signal, or not the right one (like AC-3). (I know this when on my old PC when I switch to headphones, the digital din is then blinking, which is normal as I disabled Digital output in Windows)
    now my questions:
    Is this digital port is ac-3 signal or somthing else on the Soundblaster live! 24-bit?
    Do I need to use another type of cable, like SPDIF Din Cable? (I now have a minijack to Din cable)
    I tried with optical, it works, but only with 2 speakers (left and right / digital output is on). is this normal? If i look at the manual, it's typical used for gameconsoles with stereo left and right. I guess this is so with the DDT3500 decoder...?
    if I try Digital Din on the Decoder, it doesn't work. the Decoder Led keeps blinking. Yet in Windows, digital output is on and 5.1 speakers is selected.
    In short, exact the same setup on the Decoder and PC as my older PC.
    My guess is the the soundblaster live! 24-bit is an enhanced version of the soundblaster live! 5.1? Am I wrong, I don't know....
    I do know that the reviews said you could use the digital port (orange one)
    here is a picture:
    http://www.overclockers.co.nz/ocnz/reviewimage.php?id=05boardnf4sli00microstak8nslipt0104&file=panel.jpg
    and here more info on it: http://www.overclockers.co.nz/ocnz/review.php?id=05boardnf4sli00microstak8nslipt0204
    I would apreciate any help, as i'm really stuck at the moment.

    does anybody use the soundblaster live! 24-bit to  power a surround speaker set? or is it just impossible? (for gaming)

  • ALsa + Soundblaster Live 5.1 + 5.1 Sound

    HI there!
    I finally bought a 5.1 Surround System today, but I have a major problem. Only the Subwoofer, Fron-Left- and Front-Right-Speakers are working, no Sound from Center, Surround-Left- and Surround-Right-Speakers
    Here is my modules.conf, Alsa-Page says it should work:
    # module : ALSA
    alias char-major-116 snd
    alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 snd_cards_limit=1
    options snd-emu10k1 snd_index=0 snd_id="EMU10K1" snd_extout=0x1f0f
    # OSS/Free portion
    alias char-major-14 soundcore
    alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
    alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
    alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss

    alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss

    And now my .asounrc
    pcm.emu10k1 {
    type hw
    card 0
    ctl.emu10k1 {
    type hw
    card 0
    I tried so much already and nothing works
    I played around with alsamixer and I finally got the Center-Speaker to work, but it just works instead of the Front-Left-Speaker. It really sucks.
    Maybe you can help me, it would be nice.

    i had some same issues , but i have soundblaster live 24-bit , but disabling the onboard bios didnt do anything for me , so i had to look for some ways to figure out how to fix this , * love thy google.com/linux *
    bash# speaker-test -c6 -t2 ( this is to test your surround speakers , providing your using ca0106 driver such as myself )
    if you only get a few channels you could also make your ~/.asoundrc file with some goodies in it  ill post a few examples i have found
    pcm.ca0106 {
    type hw
    card 0
    ctl.ca0106 {
    type hw
    card 0
    ctl.!default {

        card 0

    Now dont forget to run alsaconf before you do this and make sure you have 5.1 surround speakers for this as well

  • MSI K9N DIAMOND CA0106 chipset AUDIGY or SOUNDBLASTER LIVE 24

    I have 2 PC's one with an MSI K8N SLI PLATINUM mobo with onboard SOUNDBLASTER 24bit li've (CA006)
    http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=69&maincat_no=&cat 2_no=&cat3_no=
    This system has run fine for over 2-/2 years now with no troubles it was connected to my PIONEER VSX 86 via SPDIF/toslink? and has excellent sound and performed all that I wanted including DTS DVD's and all my music video clips, DIVX movies etc etc
    The trouble is, I have just setup my new system
    MSI K9N DIAMOND also with the onboard Creative sound (CA006) and comes supplied with the Creative Audigy disc
    http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=028&maincat_no=&ca t2_no=7
    When I try to install the drivers/setup disc it tells me that there is no Audigy onboard/installed? I have managed to install the drivers/disc from the previous soundblaster li've 24bit, It does work with the Audigy goldmine demo and has all channels of sound as it should but in the Surround mixer speaker settings it will only sound out 2 speakers even when it shows all 5. as it is currently configured
    I have tried to download many other drivers with no luck
    My main concern is the creative programs from my old system are not what I want, I paid for an AUDIGY setup not LIVE
    Is it possible to get the AUDIGY onboard running as it should (showing AUDIGY in hardware manager, not LIVE 24bit)
    I would like to be able to run the newer software from the AUDIGY disc but it is not compatible when the LIVE drivers are installed
    I have had one set of drivers display AUDIGY in the hardware manager but when I tried to use the speaker settings etc it fails and says soundcard not found even though it clearly shows AUDIGY drivers are installed
    I have been very happy with the creative sound so far on my first MSI system but I'm not very impressed with this setup and I'm still not sure who's fault it is MSI or CREATIVE?
    Can someone give me some details as to what is going on here, I would like to know if it is also possible to use some kind of new software/programs for the soundblaster LIVE that has maybe more settings/functions or just a later better style as I may have to use the same on my new system
    The menu's etc in my new manual (K9N DIAMOND) look almost identical to those included with the K8N SLI, The disc included with the K9N DIAMOND has an AUDIGY quick start program/demo which gives you a preview/guide on how to use the supposed AUDIGY which has all new menu's, layout and features which im unable to use?
    As mentioned I have used the soundblaster 24bit LIVE for well over 2 years now connected to my PIONEER VSX86 via a digital cable so all the previous settings etc have been compared and doublechecked but im unable to find answers, If I am unable to find help or any way to install the AUDIGY as im meant to have I may resort to fitting another soundcard and I may got to another brand unfortunately
    Any help appreciated

    If I am right the onboard Audigy on the MSI K9N Diamond utilizes the CA006 chip instead of the EMU0k2, therefore it is not a real/genuine Audigy soundcard. In fact it's the same as your former soundblaster li've 24bit which also utilizes the same CA006 chipset. That's why you can use the driver from the SB li've 24bit for your new "Audigy" onboard sound. Also there are other soundcards that are not genuine Audigy soundcards: Audigy Se, Audigy LS and, yes, also the X-fi Xtreme Audio, all utilizing the same chip, CA006. Creative Labs use some marketing techniques, add some different (newer) software/apps for the soundcard and give the soundcard (with the same chipset) a different name. In my opinion, if you for example buy a X-fi Xtreme Audio you in fact for the most part paid for the included newer softwares (which for example add "X-fi features like Crystalizer etc.).
    If you really want a better soundcard, maybe go for the X-fi XtremeMusic or XtremeGamer which utilizes the genuine EMU20K chip (with hardware acceleration). The soundquality is significantly higher than the soundcards with the CA006 chip.
    As for the drivers for the soundcard:
    Official Creative Labs driver for Sound Blaster? Audigy? Value/SE/LS, or Sound Blaster Li've!? 24-bit audio devices
    Good luck!

  • SoundBlaster Live! 24 and Vista - Deteriorating Sound Qual

    I've recently upgraded to Vista Business, and my system informs me that except for the drivers for an ancient scanner all is working properly.
    When playing music (using a Creative SB Li've 24bit card with the most recent driver installed), all starts off well (in fact playback is better than under XP Pro) but the sound quality starts to deteriorate badly, especially when I open a browser. Quite often the browser itself seems to freeze.
    I have 3Gb RAM, with a 3.60Ghz P4 processor.
    Task Manager tells me that often I am running at 00% of CPU capacity, though the problem seems to occur at lower usage too.
    I've checked everything I know to check but just can't seem to get to the root of the problem. Can anyone suggest anything I should be looking at?

    Sadly no real progress.
    I simply pulled the Soundblaster Live 24 out of the computer and am using the onboard sound instead which at least for me Arch recognized just fine.
    I haven't been able to get any suggestions for why the Soundblaster was not working, but I am going to try another sound card a friend lent me and see what happens.

    • Only if your video camera supports it.  Depending on how your camera works, you may need to add preview software to your Mac to use this feature.
    • Alternatively, your camera may also be able to record directly into your Mac while you are monitoring the Mac's display.
    • If you are using a consumer camcorder that supports HDMI monitoring, a small HDTV might be an simpler solution than your Mac.  For an example of how this is done, see http://youtu.be/GVpSkZD6qE4.
    • The retailer who sold you your video camera may have other suggestions.
    • If you need more professional results, an external preview monitor will offer more capability on compatible cameras.
