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! Value
card's Aux In connector from the decoder
card's Audio Out connector (Highly
recommended),
OR
• Mute the Aux Input in the SB Live!
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:
1. Connect the Sound Blaster Live! Value
card's Aux In connector to the decoder
card's Audio Out connector.
2. Select (that is, unmute) the Aux Input in
the SB Live! Mixer's Play Control view.
If you:
• Get distorted or no audio at all (Reason:
Your CD-ROM drives do 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:
1. Connect the CD In connector to the
Analog Audio jack of the CD-ROM drive.
2. Unmute the CD Audio device in the Play
Control view of SB Live! Mixer.
If you connect to the Digital Audio and
Analog Audio jacks of the same PC-DVD or
CD-ROM drive, make sure that in the Play
Control view of SB Live! Mixer, unmute only
one of CD Audio or CD Digital device but not
both.
