Note: The joystick connector on your
audio card is identical to that on a
standard PC game control adapter or the
game I/O connector. You can connect
any analog joystick with a 15-pin
D-shell connector or any device
compatible with the standard PC
joystick. To use two joysticks, you need
a Y-cable splitter.
Notes:
Sound Blaster Live! is optimized for
multiple speaker playback so that you can
best experience:
❑
Environmental Audio on existing
multimedia applications
❑
3D Audio positional sound
(DirectSound3D)
❑
DirectSound Environmental Audio
eXtensions (EAX)
For multiple-speaker playback, it is
recommended that you purchase PCWorks
FourPointSurround or other high quality
speakers from Cambridge SoundWorks.
Alternatively, you can connect two pairs of
powered speakers.
If you are using a pair of headphones,
connect them to the Line Out jack.
