Inside the Sound Blaster Live!
Written by Clarence Song
Last updated on 29 December 1999

Overview

Details, details, details. That's what this article is all about. Here, we will delve into the various features and specifications of the Sound Blaster Live! card, and provide an explanation of its capabilities.

Everybody likes to talk and compare specifications, but these are only words and numbers. Do you have any use for a particular feature? If you would like to find out how the SBLive! works, read on!

See the contents bar on the right side for the pages available in this article.

 

This article applies to both the 1st and 2nd generation of Sound Blaster Live! products that are all based on the EMU10K1 DSP.

If an explanation sounds vague, or there is something that was missed out, please drop me a mail. If you have more technical information on the SBLive! to share, do let me know too.
