Creative Labs Soundblaster Live! Platinum

Purchase date:

9 Oct 1999

Price:

$164

Vendor:

Upgrade Source

In October 1999 I purchased from Upgrade Source a Creative Labs Soundblaster Live! Platinum audio card. The feature of the Live! Platinum that appealed to me most was the Live! Drive, and control panel connects to the Live! Platinum card by means of a ribbon cable, fits in a 5.25" bay in one's computer's front panel, and provides easy access to volume, microphone, and headphone controls.

The audio adapters in the Live! series have always rendered full and accurate sound, and the programmers at Creative Labs develop useful drivers that are updated frequently.
