Topic: [SOUND SETUP] Setting Up a SOUNDBLASTER LIVE Platinum

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I have a SoundBlaster Platinum card which has a Headphone jack on the front of it. If I plug my headphones into the jack it disables the speakers. Do you know of a way that I can use my headphones as a moniter and and still be able to hear out of my speakers?????

If you figure it out, let me know.. I've been thinking about buying it just for that reason alone, so i don't have to reach behind my PC to plug in the headphones to the 2nd sound card. :)
 

Hi,

if you plug your headphones in the rear speakers jack, it´s monitoring the green player.
 

Dear users of atomixmp3,

As you have said, Our softawre use the two outputs on a 3d card. The main output is for the red player (speakers) and the rear output is only for monitoring the green player!

Don't forget you can switch between Desk A and B by press the Tab Key
 

Unfortunetly, the output of the front panel headphone jack is a combination of both the front *and* rear outputs on a Live card. You can, however, disable the mute "feature" of the front panel jack in "AudioHQ", under "Device Controls". Look for the "Live! Drive" tab.
