I noticed that the CT4620 and CT4760 seem to be separated only by the lack of "Digital Out" jack on the CT4620. Maybe I'd use an Envy24 for jobs like those, it's used in pro audio gear to this day (which I don't agree with) and does actually have SBPro emulation which, although finicky is better than the Live's unreliable attempt at SB16 emulation, despite the lack of EAX I find them to be a good compromise.
Personally I favor the YM724 for PCI, though I can see why one might want the extra features of the Live.
Overall I never really thought any version of them was any good to be honest, they were only marginally better than the SBPCI. They all smell rather musty for some reason too, which is unusual as some of them were in use. Incidentally, all the Live! cards I do still have no longer work. Sadly, the powers that be threw them out of the shopping center, along with all the other small businesses, because they wanted to put a cinema there. I also remember buying a shareware version of Duke Nukem II on floppy from that store. This is probably why I only recently started to run short on IDE/Floppy ribbons and 80mm fans. Fans and cables were by the entrance and I was allowed to just pick them up on the way out without paying for them, provided I didn't take ridiculous amounts. I liked that store though, they were cheap and even then, I used to get stuff for free out of them - no joke, me and my dad knew the manager. Never did get the SB16 emulation working either. I always knew there was something fishy about them. This is interesting, because I still have a SB0220 card (though bought several) and a receipt for them, purchased brand new from a computer store in 2001 which no longer exists. It was recommended that recording should be done at 48kHz sampling rate, as there was an issue with hardware down-sampling." Currently there are Windows drivers available for download from Creative's website (filename LiveDrvUni-Pack_ENG_.exe). The EMU10K1 chip was restored, as was hardware EAX/DirectSound/DirectSound3D acceleration. Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Digital (Dell OEM, SB0220) The card can be identified by its part number ( SB0200/0203). The sale of this board by Dell created some controversy because it was not obviously marketed as an inferior or cheaper product. The chip does not accelerate DirectSound in hardware, nor EAX. This card, marketed as a Sound Blaster Live!, did not have the full capabilities of the retail versions of Live! It used a different audio chip, not EMU10K1 but EMU10K1X, that is noticeably smaller with fewer pins. According to the excerpt below, it might be an acceptable option:
SB 0220 is a widely available and cheap card.
