Live! Value?
Yep this is a light version of the LIVE Platinum, the high-end soundcard...

Pros: Great Sound; Easy to Install; Good Features
Cons: Can't think of any

I purchased the Sound Blaster Live! Value to replace the junky sound card that came with my computer originally. I have found it to be a wonderful addition to my computer hardware setup. It has made DVD movies much more enjoyable, and has improved the...

Pros: Sounds GREAT, lots of cool games come with it
Cons: None!

There is a very good reason why Sound Blaster is the current industry standard for sound cards and why all other sound cards must be classified as 'Sound Blaster compatible' if they ever want to sell - it is the best.

This sound card is very...

Pros: Good value, equivalent to most cheap cards
Cons: annoying glitches, sound quality

Well, I have to say that I do not like my sound card. When I got it a couple of years ago, I researched thoroughly and saw that Creative was about the only company left making high-quality cards. They sell the majority of sound cards today. Only Hercules...

Pros: price, quality
Cons: none, really

I got my SB Live! Value after I bought a new set of surround sound speakers for my computer (P3 450, 128RAM) and didn't have enough output plugs. Why did I get the Live! Value? It's cheap, it has 5 plugs, 2 of which are for output signals (one for main...

Pros: Great overall performance
Cons: A3D is better than live!'s EAX

The Creative labs Sound Blaster Live! is the best sound card available. To start off for those that are confused of the differences of all of the cards here is an explanation. They are all the exact same card. From the value, x-gamer, and mp3. These...

Pros: Great Card, lots of features..
Cons: Haven't found one yet.

When I built my system, I had been searching for card that would acuratly recreate music in a midi format. After much consideration, with features included in my considerations, I decided that the Sound Blaster Live value card was the card for me....

Pros: Sound quality, price, compatibility, everything
Cons: None

I bought this product because I trust Creative. It was also the best sound card I could buy at the time. The Sound Blaster Live! Value replaced the regular Sound Blaster Live!. The Value now includes optical out, which is extremely convenient for...

Pros: Amazing sound, environmental sound is impressive
Cons: None I can see

For about 6 years I had a sound blaster 16. Over the years I had upgraded everything in the system and soon the only thing that remained from the original system was the case and the sound blaster 16. When it came time to get a new system, a new sound...

Pros: Great sound,EAX impressive.
Cons: Play center2 software on SB live Entertainment 5.1 better.

I just assembled my PC a few weeks ago.I was on a tight budget but I opted to get the Altec Lansing 45.1 speakers. I had to forgo Geforce MX2 and settled for a TNT2 M64 graphics card instead.

A friend got me a second hand Tera Sound...

Pros: Great Price, surround support
Cons: Lack of digital connections

For serious gamers this card is definitely king of bang for the buck. With surround sound support, audio acceleration, and industry standard compatibility wrapped into a $40 package, it can't be beat.

Sound quality from this card is top...

Pros: Low price, great quality
Cons: Not the BEST there is... but who cares?

I love this card.

Not only does this sound card have a digital connector (for those REAL audio freaks who can hear the difference), it's a real performer.

Being a fairly budget sound card, I was not expecting very much from this....

Pros: Great all-in-one sound device
Cons: No front outputs/inputs

SoundBlaster Live! Value… quite simply, it is a wonderful card. The main reason I bought it was due to the fact that Creative produces it. I love Creative for audio (but not video or other devices).

This little card (PCI) does it all, and it...

Pros: Best 3D sound and EAX support for the money.
Cons: Might not work with some VIA Chipsets.

Well what can I say, I was getting tired of my Sound Blaster PCI128. I mean it was able to play sounds but offered next to no 3D sound support for my new DX 7&8 games.
So I went to the local computer store (RA computers in Ottawa). I looked at the...

Pros: sound quality, EAX, Environmental audio
Cons: absolutely none

I picked up this card to replace my SoundBlaster AWE64. I immediately noticed a huge difference in the overall sound quality of this card. Then there is the whole 4 channel EAX surround that this card is capable of putting out, provided the game you are...
