AutoEA contributed by Larry Mohr

Reading the various information on the new Liveware 2.0-2.1 update I notice that all talk say that the Auto-EA utility automatically sets your selected Environment when it detects a particular program starting. In fact, Auto-EA changes from one Environment to another whenever you change focus from one program to another.

I have setup the following:

  • Playcenter with the "Hall" environment.
  • Willowphone with a custom setup called "Speakerphone" (Willowphone is a speakerphone program that "pops" up when the phone rings.)
  • Adobe Premire with an environment which enables line-in.

When I launch "Premire" Auto-EA sets the correct environment. If I launch "Playcenter" the environment automatically changes to "Hall", when the phone rings and "Willowphone" comes up, that environment turns off effects and puts wave and midi volumes to 40% and speakerphone to 100%.

As I switch from program to program the environment changes. I used to end up with speakerphone trouble because the presets all mute the TAD and when I answered the phone I couldn't hear anyone. Now, the "Speakerphone" environment automatically adjusts everything for me.

4 Digital Outputs?!

The Sound Blaster Live! has 4 separate S/PDIF digital outputs, with each of them carrying stereo (left & right)!

These outputs are available on a I/O card with the Digital DIN output.

The latest SBLive! 5.1 series uses 3 of these outputs to carry 6 channels of information.
