87750 2002-10-10 05:24:00 Heya all,

I have just installed a SB Live 5.1 OEM, in my new computer. SO no manual. The instructions on my 5.1 Speakers aren't clear either.

Can someone tell me what goes where on the SB Live. I need to connect

Center/Subwoofer
Surround Right/Left
Front Right/Left

I await your answers with anticipation

I've got a 4 speaker SB Live! and all the sockets are colour coded, along with the speaker plugs, so I can tell which plug to plug into which socket. Maybe it's the same with the 5.1?

If not, then I'm sure the Soundblaster website will tell you what plug each colour stands for.

Mike.

The manual is in PDF form on the installation CD.

I know that front left/right (or just left/right in two speaker mode) is the green socket (second away from the joystick connector).

Green, Blue, Microphone, and then some other cord.
