Review By: Alex Harris
SoundBlaster
Platinum Drive Bay
With the SoundBlaster Live! Drive II you
have many benefits that other soundcards on the market do not have. You
get easy front panel access so you can simultaneously connect both digital
and analog devices. The other things you can connect to the front panel is
S/PDIF in, S/PDIF out, line in (mic in), headphone out, MIDI in, and MIDI
out. This is a major benefit if you are a musician and plan to have things
like keyboards connected to your PC and don't want to keep having to move
your PC round to connect at the back.
