Amazon.com Product Description
Billed as the easiest way to upgrade from basic built-in PC sound to home-theater audio, Creative's USB SoundBlaster Live! 24-bit external sound card is an affordable stand-alone audio interface for your PC that hooks up to your computer via a single, simple USB 1.1 connection (cable supplied). The card offers analog inputs for a microphone and an audio component (CD player, DVD player, etc.) and outputs including optical and coaxial digital-audio jacks and a trio of minijack analog audio outs that you can use with 5.1-channel surround-sound speaker systems. Your music and games will never be the same.P Now you can create MP3s from your CDs easier than ever and digitize your old cassettes and LP records, cleaning up the sound as you do so using Creative's supplied software. (Be aware, however, that LP record playback requires, in addition to a turntable and cartridge, an outboard phono stage or an integrated amplifier equipped with a phono preamplifier; the USB SoundBlaster Live! accepts only line-level analog inputs.)P The unit's onboard 24-bit Advanced HD and EAX Advanced HD technologies encode and decode (record and play back) audio at up to 24-bit, 96 kHz resolution, though you must disable realtime audio monitoring at the highest settings due to limitations in the USB 1.1 data-throughput spec.P Creative Multi Speaker Surround (CMSS) multispeaker technology lets you "upmix" stereo sources to 5.1-channel surround sound. The software includes a professional-quality panning and mixing algorithm, front and rear balance controls, muting, and panning control for mixer sources.P Realistic EAX reverb, panning, and elevation effects bring your music and games to life. The kit also includes advanced time-scaling (which allows variable playback duration without altering the pitch of your original content), an audio clean-up feature (which removes noise and clicks from playback of vinyl disk or cassette recordings), bass boost, smart volume management, and a multi-band graphic equalizer.P Use of the sound card is as simple as plugging it into any available USB port: there's no power adapter required. The card has an infrared receiver for use with an optional Creative remote control, which will let you operate your computer from the comfort of your sofa or bed, at a distance of up to 13 feet.P bWhat's in the Box/bbr USB SoundBlaster Live! 24-bit external sound card, a USB cable, a quick-start guide, and an Installation CD (containing drivers for Windows XP, SP1, and 2000, SP4; Creative Software Applications Suite; and a user's guide).

 Question? What U Hear September 30, 2009
Reed G. Hinton
My comment is a question. In the recording section of the mixer is there a slider that can be activated that is named "What U Hear"? The internal version of this sound card has this option and I would like to use this USB card with a laptop if it has the "What U Hear" option.
Wonderful August 28, 2009
Shannon L Cole
I bought this as an add on to my computer since I purchased a set of 5.1 Creative surround sound computer speakers. I hooked it up, it installed the few bits of software, I changed the settings and I was golden. Surround sound.
br /
br /Only qualm: some times it's finicky and doesn't always like to remember the setting I had it on, so I need to go back and re-apply it. Other than that, I am completely happy with the external sound card.
A great USB external sound system May 22, 2009
Preston (Lancaster, Calif.)
My internal sound system was crackling and hissing even after a new board was installed. If I had known about this external system I would have gotten it and saved some money. The sound is fantastic and I have a much better volume control with the manual settings on the unit itself plus the regular controls on the monitor. It has other features that I don't use so I can't comment on those.
Great! June 11, 2008

It's now about six months that I am using it, and I really like it!
Great price for what you get! June 2, 2008

There has been much griping about the lack of Vista drivers for this product and deservedly so. Keep in mind, this is an older product from Creative Labs, but they have finally provided updated drivers for Vista that lets you take full advantage of what this little box has to offer.
br /
br /My main use of our laptop is watching online movies through Netflix hooked up to our big screen HDTV, and the included sound card has an analog out jack that also comes with some low-level noise (yuck). I was straining to understand the words. Luckily, this box has not one, but TWO SPDIF out jacks, optical or coaxial which I can hook into our stereo and get some very nice surround sound. No more hum.
br /
br /Being quite familiar with Creative Labs products, I was happy to see the basic same interface included that comes with my X-Fi Platinum card. It is a little bit more simplified, but most of the software is there and it serves the job quite nicely.
br /
br /The line-in jack works decently enough, but be warned that you need to pre-amp some things to get any decent kind of sound. But the line-in jack is not the reason I got this box.
br /
br /It's a great upgrade of sound from the usual notebook cards, especially with the digital outputs. It's especially economical if you have a low-end notebook and get annoyed with the tinny sound they tend to produce.
