![]() ![]() The various integrated circuits had white or black paper stickers fully covering their top thus hiding their identity. For many years Creative tended to use off-the-shelf components and manufacturers' reference designs for their early products. ![]() These ICs were featured earlier in various popular electronics magazines around the world. It contained two Philips SAA1099 integrated circuits, which, together, provided 12 channels of square-wave "bee-in-a-box" stereo sound, 4 channels of which can be used for noise. The history of Creative sound cards started with the release of the Creative Music System ("C/MS") CT-1300 board in August 1987. 11 Driver software modification (soft mod)Ĭreative Music System and Game Blaster Creative Music System.7 Sixth generation Sound Blaster Sound Core3D cards.6 Fifth generation Sound Blasters, PCI cards, multi-channel and F/X.5 Fourth generation Sound Blasters, 16-bit ISA cards, dynamic sample-based synthesis.4 Third generation Sound Blasters, 16-bit ISA cards.3 Second-generation Sound Blasters, 16-bit ISA & MCA cards.2 First generation Sound Blasters, 8-bit ISA & MCA cards.1 Creative Music System and Game Blaster.That's why your hard drive can transfer data at millions of bits per second.

Winamp, which doesn't upsample, sounds tinny. Or you could use software upsampling from 44 to 48 like you get with PowerDVD 4. So you'd have to listen to the audio from a DVD.

I plan to eventually buy the Corda and a Headroom amp, and I'm hoping that they will live up to the Live Drive. To anyone who thinks the SB Live Drive headphone amp is bad, have you actually ever used it, or are you just going by what others who don't like Creative for whatever reason have said? I doubt very many people would complain about the headphone amp on the SB Live Drive.

Sound Blaster Platinum did a very bad job resampling 44 to 48. ![]()
