Soundblaster LIVE! and AUDIGY in one System

flyingv999 · Aug 13, 2003, 01:45 PM

Could you please help me with some guidelines how to set up a Soundblaster LIVE! and a AUDIGY in one System?

I would prefer to use the Creative Drivers over KX as I tried to get Soundfonts properly with KX for a couple of hours to no avail.

This at least works (relatively) fine w/ the current SB drivers on my Audigy 1 platinum EX.

Thanks

Before I begin, could you explain to me why you want to do this?

edit: Nevermind, I'll just explain: You can usually set up 2 soundcards just fine... but this time, you have two Creative cards. I smell driver problems in the future (because the separate driver installations for each card would over write each other). You may end up having to install Creative drivers for one card and KX for the other for stability reasons.

And if you're wondering how to do it... it's simple. Plug in both cards into PCI slots and install the drivers for each (if you're not afraid of needing a reformat because you messed up, you may want to try using creative drivers for both, though if you fear problems and headaches, you should just do what i suggested above).

In order to answer your initial question: I would like to use the two additional Syths of the live! card.

Thank you very much for the suggestion.
As the obvious did not work (installing the respective drivers after another),
I asked.

The following worked to some extent:

Installing AUDIGY card
Installing AUDIGY 2 drivers and apps (after instructions from this site)
Installing LIVE! card
Installing coax-3,5mm cable from digital out of LIVE! to digital in of AUDIGY

Unfortunatly CREATIVE Soundfond Manager nor CUBASE could load SFs into LIVE!.
