Sound Blaster Live 4.1 setup tips?????

[skybolt_1]

Ok, putting together my dream machine... within reason. And also trying to stay on budget. I have a pair of Yamaha YSTM15's that put out 15 watts apiece, no sub. I plan on hooking these up to a SB Live Digital Value. Heres my question. Can I achieve 4 point surround if I simply plug another set of satellites into the "rear" plug of the card? Apparently, the card has 2 plugs, one for just two speakers, and one for the back two, if you want to hook them up. But will it recognise the speakers as being rear or will it just pump whats going to the front ends to the rear as well? Confused.... Thankx

It will only play through the first two speakers until you configure the card to work with all 4. It is simply done in the SB drivers. If you have Creative Launcher running, you don't even have to go into the control panel to set it to 4 speakers.
