I own a sblive since a few months now, but I never took the time to
look at all the possibilities of the card. Until I read a post on RAS
a few days ago that the sound gets so much better with 4 speakers.
So I bought 2 extra speakers, plugged them in, and it was great great
great.
Last night I experimented with the Enviromental Audio settings.
With this you can change the sound as if you are in a different
enviroment, and there are many preset environments which you can
choose from. You can make your own environments but I didn't try that
yet,
Ok, so last night I chose the enviroment '3D games - racing game' and
WOW!!!!! It sounded to unbelievable fantastic, the engines howled and
screamed, the sound got so much more volume, I really liked it.
I have installed other sound engines than the original sounds by the
way, look on the Eagle Womans site for a link to Patrick's car sounds.
I don't know if an out of the box 4 speaker set is better than 2
single sets. But I have 2 single sets with a subwoofer, and it's
fantastic.

Parts is parts... speakers are speakers. It doesn't mater what speaker
combination you have. You could have a 1" tweeter for the RF, a 5" mid range for
the LF, a 10"base for the RR, and a 500" for the LR. It wont sound good, but you
could do it.

P.S. For games I really recommend you get the MX300. A3D is superior to EAX and
the MX300 does both. The SB Live won't do A3D. Do yourself a favor and listen to
Half Life on both. There is no comparison!
P.P.S I have both so I am giving an unbiased view.
