SB Live 1024 - Dated, but capable and compatible.  |
When this card first came out it was excellent, unfortunately the years have not been so great to it.
Having said that it is a SoundBlaster - anyone who wants a cheap way to get into gaming with the very best compatibility available wants this card. Driver support is great, and the software that comes along with it is mostly well thought out (theres a toolbar that the installation wants to add, but its better avoided).
The only problem now with this card is its lack of support for Dolby 5.1 surround. It does support downmixed 4.1 systems and LiveSurround. The internal ribbon connector means that if you want to buy the LiveDrive then this can make a central part of a home studio, with optical, SPDIF, line in, digital out, etc etc.Overall a damn good card, the only reason for me to upgrade is for 5.1 support.

You wont need a new sound card again |
|
I dont have words to explain all the qualities of this sound card. If you are a sound lover this is the sound card for you. I recommend this card to all those who dont settle for a mediocre sound card.

The best sound card ever? |
|
This sound card is one of the best. It is basically the normal bog-standard Soundblaster Live! card, but on the outside youve got the cool "Live! Drive", which is a must if youre a music tech-head. If you want to create your own MP3 files, or make music with your computer - you must buy this. If you dont want to use the card for music making, get the cheaper option at about £100 less. But its a must for all electronic musicians.
