Playback Applications
DVD To play back DVD movies on your Sound Blaster Live!, you must first have a
DVD-compatible CD-ROM drive. Next, you must have a software DVD
solution that is available from Creative. For the full DVD experience, you
may want to purchase Cambridge SoundWorks’ DeskTop Theater 5.1 or a
Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder. See Figure 1-7 on page 1-9.
Video CD You can play a Video CD on Sound Blaster Live! using the bundled Creative
PlayCenter. To enhance your movie experience, enable CMSS (Creative Multi
Speaker Surround) to get surround effects on 4 speakers.
Wave/CD
Audio Use Creative PlayCenter to play back files in both Wave and CD Audio
formats. WAV is the format for digital audio files on the Windows operating
platform. CD Audio is played back from an audio compact disc on your CD-
ROM drive.
MIDI MIDI (*.MID) is a music format used by musicians that is played back from
the internal synthesizer on the Sound Blaster Live! card. You can use Creative
PlayCenter to play back MIDI files or use the MIDI sequencer bundled with
your card. To achieve the best quality, load the 8MB GM bank in the
SoundFont applet found in the AudioHQ group.
SoundFont
MIDI Many musicians have created music files that use exotic or non-regular
instrument (non General MIDI compliant). These instruments are stored in
SoundFont banks. Such MIDI files can be played back from Creative
PlayCenter. The bundled CD contains many examples of MIDI demos that use
high quality SoundFont banks.
