Installing Sound Blaster Live! 4
5. Align the gold-striped tabs on the
bottom of the audio card with the
PCI slot, and firmly press the
card into place until it fits snugly.
6. Use the screw from the slot cover
to secure the audio card to the
frame of the computer—securing
the card assures proper
grounding.
7. Connect the CD audio cable from
your CD-ROM drive to the audio

Optionally, connect the CD SPDIF

If you connect the digital audio to
the analog audio connectors of the
same CD-ROM or PC-DVD
drive, do not unmute CD Audio
