3 pairs of speakers @ one card

the.crawling · Nov 24, 2005, 05:21 PM

I've got a Soundblaster Live Sound Card with Kx Drivers in the newest Version.
Is it possible with that kind of card to connect 3 different Speaker Systems ?

A long time I'de used 2 pairs of Speakers with different EQ Settings.
Currently 2 plugs are used, another is used for mic, 2 plugs are out of use.

Help me please

is it the live! 5.1 series? sb010x or sb0060?

if so it is possible
use the green (front), black (rear) and orange (centre/sub) jacks
on the normal models iirc the orange jack is digital only (may even be yellow, but i can't remember)

I got six pairs, on a single sb0060, so 3 is simple ;-)
(6 pairs as in the 3 analog ones as stick mentioned, and 3 digital spdif ones which are setup as a 5.1 system)
basicly, I'm having 11.1 sound on 12 independant channels, out of a 20$ card...
So... ya... 3 pairs is easely done with kx ;-)

this one .... I think it's impossible cauZe there are only 2 analog outs and 2 analog in's ... rest is digital and I need some more hardware ...

You would need an spdif to analog convertor to be able to use the 3 unused spdif outs on the AUD_EX connector.
That way you could have a total of 5 out pairs.
If you're a bit handy with a soldering iron, the circuit aint too hard and is readely available on the internet (try google)

Iif he didn't want to go the electronic builder route, wouldn't a second SBLive with a digital out do the job...Another $15 U.S. from Ebay.

Is it possible to turn line in or mic in to other direction ? Instead of Line In a second Line out ?

to expand on the above post, all the audio jacks are hardwired and impossible to change
