Creative Sound Blaster Live! MP3+

Pros: Excellent Price and stunning Audio/Sound Capabilities
Cons: None

I got a new computer for my birthday. When I opened up my old one to transfer my SB AWE-64 Gold card to my new computer, I became horrified. The AWE 64 is an ISA card, my new computer has only PCI slots in it. I really started to panic. I do alot of...

Pros: 3D audio, MP3 encoding, good sound
Cons: 3D audio is just luxury, not necessity

This card delivers quality sound, nice 3D audio, and MP3 encoding. 3D sound and MP3 encoding is on the luxury end of cool things to have in your computer (unless of course you regularly work with MP3's as a business or something). As cool as 3D audio...

Pros: sounds great, wonderful software package
Cons: none

Well you definitely can't go wrong with the SoundBlaster Live! family of soundcards. It is well known as one of the best soundcards out there. The soundblaster live! MP3+ is no exception. What sets it apart from other Live! cards is the software it comes...

Pros: Easy install, great sound quality, not expensive, good software bundle
Cons: PlayCenter just wastes hard drive space

When I was looking for a new sound card, I was looking for something to replace my cheap $20 no-name brand sound card. I read mixed reviews on the SB Live MP3, so I wasn't quite sure if I should get it or not, but I saw it for $70 at CompUSA after...

Pros: bundled software, bells and whistles, solid quality and compatibility
Cons: When are they going to learn to synthesize horns and guitars???

Am I glad I bought the Creative Labs Soundblaster LIVE! + MP3? Well, I'm listening to it right now. The bass vibrates my feet and the high end falls like snowflakes on the limits of my hearing range. Is the ability to pull top quality sound out those...

Pros: Great sound, and compatiblity.
Cons: It started making fuzzy noises. (easy to fix)

I have owned this soundcard for quite a while now with my surround sound speaker system i purchased for my computer a while ago. I cant wait to see what creative soundworks will come out with next. I can hardly believe my ears when i turned on the music...

Pros: Sound quality- perfect!; digital; ambiances are fun to use; easy to install

First I'll give you an idea of what i'm running:

This audio card will enhance any piece of sound. Not only will it enhance it, you can customize it to where you think it should be heard. for example you could make it sound as if you were in a bathroom, audio hall, or even make voices sound like...

Pros: 5.1 Channels, EAX, Bundled Software, Great sound, AC3 Decoding, price
Cons: Need 5.1 speakers to get full experience adding to the price.

This is a great card for games, entertainment, and even for DVD's. I was a bit iffy about the 5.1 channels scheme but overall it turned out great. I had to purchase Creative's Cambridge Soundworks DTT2200 5.1 speakers to get the full experience of the...

Pros: Tons of features, excellent quality
Cons: None

My very first SBLive soundcard was the value version that came out a few years ago. Since then, there have been many other releases but I knew I had to get the latest ones that came with 5.1 Dolby Digital decoding built-in. Refer to my earlier review of...

Pros: High quality consumer gear
Cons: No longer top model, sometimes annoying noise interference, missing some Win2k compatibility

I selected this sound card because Creative has a reputable name when selecting sound cards, and Sound Blaster is the benchmark standard for consumer sound cards. At the time I bought it, the LIVE! architecture wsa their high end hardware...

Pros: software allows many settings, great sound quality

Pros: affordable, EAX sound, digital out, 4 speaker support
Cons: tough debate whether to go platinum, X-Gamer or MP3 version

Building a new system, I had a tough time deciding which sound blaster card to buy. For me, it was a toss up between the mp3 5.1 and the platinum 5.1. The deciding factor came down to this.

the platinum offers a different software bundle;...
