Creative Sb Live Platinum Ct4760 Sound Card PCI Drivers
As a sound card, I found Sb Live! to be a very acceptable solution. Characteristics of the card included separated stereo headphone and microphone inputs, analog line-in input/output, and a line level output (which can be patched via the usual 3 wire connector to the digital output connector). Sb Live! also included a digital S-Video connector to route the picture over the computer's VGA or SCART connector. The card was also capable of using an analog radio (such as an AM or FM tuner and tape deck) via the line-in input. This means that all audio, video, and game sound information is routed via the card, making it a convenient solution for those who want to listen to music, watch movies, or play games while on the go. I am not sure of the card's ability to record, but I rarely used this part of the card and mainly used the soundcard for audio output in the early days of music and video audio.
All cards can decode Dolby Digital surround and Dolby ProLogic, and up until version 4, also Dolby Pro Logic Surround. Dolby Digital is a digital coding format that allows a sound card to present the user with up to a 5.1-channel surround sound. Dolby ProLogic is an extension of Dolby Digital that by its nature allows the user to hear the effects, rather than the dynamics, of the audio. Dolbey ProLogic (and presumably Dolby Pro Logic Surround) can be disabled due to a lack of hardware decoding. The difference between the two is that with ProLogic, only the effects are audible, while ProLogic Surround also allows the user to hear the music, with 'Dolby Dynamic Range Control' (enabled by default) or 'Dolby Equalizer', helping out if he/she has had the audio clipped at the top or bottom end of the speaker system. 7211a4ac4a
