Connecting Creative PC-DVD: Sound Blaster Live! Value Sound Card
User's Guide
When you are playing your DVD movies or games:
If your Encore Dxr2 or MPEG2 decoder card is connected to an
external Dolby Digital (AC- 3) decoder such as Desktop Theater 5.1, either:
- Disconnect the Sound Blaster Live! card’s Aux In connector from
the decoder card’s Audio Out connector (Highly recommended),
OR
- Mute the Aux Input in the Creative Mixer’s Play Control view.
If your decoder card is not connected to an external Dolby
Digital (AC-3) decoder, it is recommended that you:
- Connect the Sound Blaster Live! card’s Aux In connector to the
decoder card’s Audio Out connector.
- Select (that is, unmute) the Aux Input in the Creative Mixer’s
Play Control view.
If you:
- Get distorted or no audio at all (Reason: Your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM
drive does not fully comply to SPDIF specifications),
OR
- Are playing games in Windows 95/98 MS-DOS mode (that is, pure DOS
mode),
do the following:
- Connect the CD In connector to the Analog Audio jack of the CD-ROM or
DVD-ROM drive.
- In the Play Control view of Creative Mixer, unmute the CD Audio
device and mute the CD Digital device.
If you connect to the Digital Audio and Analog Audio jacks of the
same CD-ROM or DVD- ROM drive, make sure that in the Play Control view of Creative
Mixer, unmute only one or the other of CD Audio or CD Digital but not both.
To open the mixer, bring your pointer to the top of the screen to
display Creative Launcher, click the AudioHQ tab, and then
click the Mixer icon.
