Connect Live! Drive IR to your Sound Blaster Live! audio card to get the best audio solution
available for your music, digital audio content creation, games, movies and other Internet

used audio sources to external devices easily. It conveniently allows you to plug in your
microphone and headphones, and adjust the gain/volume from the front panel. Live! Drive IR
also provides MIDI, as well as, digital input and output connectors for your audio recording
and content authoring purposes. The infrared receiver on the Live! Drive IR lets you control
