SB Live Value vs. SB Live X-Gamer soundcards

3 posts by 3 people · 09 Jan 2000 - 10 Jan 2000

Hey N3 racers, I have decided to move up from my old basic SB AWE 64 soundcard so I can maximize the use of my new Altec Lansing 5 speaker setup. Locally, the SB Live X-Gamer is about $ 30.00 more than the SB Live Value card. Is it worth it, especially with the 5 speaker setup?????? THANKS in advance for your comments!!!!!!!

I believe the difference is that the X-Gamer has output for digital speakers rather than analog. I read that the digital sound a lot better. Lutrell

SB live value also has output for digital sound. I do not know the difference but I know that the live is a very good card. I have the output thruogh my home stereo and I can't imagine it sounding any better.
