Re: S B Live
Thanks that is what I thought and will have to look at my Amp.

The digital output produces better audio quality by transferring the bits (all music on a computer is broken down into bits (as is all tother information)). If you want to use the digital output you would need to purchase a digital to audio converter. I am not sure if any of the Sblive cards had there own digital audio converters in them or not so you might want to check that out first if you have documentation with the card. My assumption is however that since there is a digital output on the card they want you to use an external digital audio converter. Digital audio converters come in all shapes, sizes, and quality not to mention cost. Also what kind of system are you going to run this into? If it's is a good system (your judgement is primary here) the digital audio converter would have outputs that you can connect directly into the input of your system and you should hear improvement in your musical sound. Hope that helps get you started. On Feb 24, 2013, at 12:32 PM, DJ MURRAY redba...@gmail.com wrote: I just put an older S B Live card into an older Xp Home Computer.

I just put an older S B Live card into an older Xp Home Computer. Could someone tell me the function of the digital output and how touse it? Thanks Doug Murray To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Re: S B Live
believe that's for an optical/digital cable. Made the mistake of going into this mode, and lost all sound. Hope this helps.--Matthew Chao At 12:32 PM 2/24/2013, DJ MURRAY wrote: I just put an older S B Live card into an older Xp Home Computer.
