Oi Vogons,
I recently purchased a Sound Blaster Live! Platinum package, to finally get hold of that nice drive with headphone jack on the front.
The card number is SB0060 and the drive is SB0010C...the 5.1 version.
But when loading the driver (sbeinit) in DOS, the drive shuts off and everything stays silent.
I assumed, that thing is just a harwired version of what sits in the back, plus some extras, so I was a bit suprised to see it completely shut down.
Someone in a facebook group mentioned a thread here on Vogons about that topic, saying it depends on the card version. But I couldn't find it.
(If someone remembers that thread, please show it to me.)
So I also tried with a CT4830, same results. I believe I have another version of that card ... somewhere 😉
Has anyone ever made a combination work in DOS?
If not, has someone tried to just connect the headphone amp to the rear main out...someone knows, what the pins are doing?
thanks a lot
M
