Notes

  1. Digital I/O Card can be attached to LiveValue CT4670, but the indicated features will be unavailable
  2. Most OEM cards do not have CD-SPDIF In, but some do
  3. D = DIN, J = Jack - Some cards with the digital jack run the output at 5.0V, whereas the spec requires 0.5V
    (Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live Reference Review - Page 3 Para 5 (dead link removed))
  4. Most OEM cards have the digital 1/8" jack (running the output at the correct 0.5V), but some may not have it
  5. M = Full size DIN, m = mini DIN

This site's owner wishes to contact Mark Muschett or Mikael HagĂ©n, lately of www.3dss.com / www.3dsoundsurge.com which sites now appear to have changed ownership and no longer host information relevant to SB Live sound cards.  I'd be grateful if either or both of these persons or anyone who can give me current contact details for them would contact me via the contact page of this website.  Thank you.
