simple soundcard question

What's the differents between the Soundblaster Live 1024
and the Sounblaster Live Value ?

Thanks William. In fact the question has to do within another issue. I'm quite a race sim enthousiastic especial where it concerns GrandPrix 3 and lately also Gp3 2000 (update of) Gp3 2000 has better sounds (and more) with EAX support.

The reason I asked here is that a friend of mine is able to get the EAX 3d sound working with the SB Live Value.
I'm using the 1024 Live and strange things are happening.

When driving I've got the EAX 3d sounds, so it seems ok. But whenever I lift the throttle and/or use the brakes the sound volume is decreasing dramaticly, when I step on the throttle again it's ok, untill....

So there seems to be some conflict.

The Readme says:

-- Creative Labs SBLive -- (All HW Versions)
If you have older drivers (eg EMU10K1.VXD is version 4.05.1026 or earlier) you will not be able to use EAX or multi-speaker surround in the game. Updating to the latest drivers will enable EAX and multi-speaker 3D in the game's audio menu.

I did try to update the new drivers but get the message that I did not have the right Playcenter installed or not the right language. Well that's both nonsens because I have, while the language is multilanguaal

So I hope my question (and answer) is still simple.

LOL, that was one reason Creative went to such great expense to bankrupt Aureal and buy the drivers/kill them. A3D 2.0 is still better than anything Creative has.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

Most of my new games support A3D 2.0 also, so support for it still hasn't died out like all the naysayers predicted.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

Yes, A3D2.0 on GTA3 does sound good.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

see how rumors get started....i was saying I WISH those cards supported it. GTXP and TBSC do in fact NOT support it

But a simple solution might be to uninstall your current drivers before installing the new ones. Worth giving a whirl.

Well, I think that's the funny part.

Because before you can install the new drivers you've got to installed the old (playcenter)and then we start all over again

Maybe it's better to just buy the Audigy Platinum. Altough I read that it will cost me some fps. Working with the T900. So maybe I gonna loose more then 2 fps?
