What are the connections on the back of SB Live Value

[NicColt]

They are all color coded but I can't find anything on the Creative site.

It doesn't say on the actual metal? Mine does. Perhaps it's in back and you just can't see it

Anyway, Green is speaker, pink is mic. Closest to the joystick port is headphone, furthest is digital out. One between mic and digital is line in.

I believe that's right... just from memory though.

I'm getting an SB Live soon...when you say digital out, is that Optical out, or SPDI/F?

Well my SBLive Value model CT4670 has the following conx....

Joystick
Speaker Rear
Speaker Front / Headphones
Mike
Line in

Definitely not the optical out I'm used to seeing on stereos.. Looked like a standard headphone sized jack.

I've been wondering about this since I got a Sblive! Value when they first came out... knew I was missing a connection...
Maybe I'll buy a new one so I can have that digital out...

Go here click on manuals at the left side (this is for SBlive 1024)but the connections at back I believe are all the same & colour coded.

My x-gamer isn't color coded and it was retail. Any reason for that?

my sb live value has that yellow thing i think its digital out as thats what im plungin my fps2000 in.the question is whats the difference between optical out and digital out?also is the sb x-gamer digital more better then live value digital out as im thinking im not getting the full benefit of digital here

Optical out and digital out are the same thing basically, Digital out is Sp/DIF and the optical out is TOSLINK, they can both carry the same information on the sb live (AC-3 and PCM), and are just about of the same quality,

about the colour coding, my sb live platinum does not have any either

Optical out uses light to transmit information - and it is SP/DIF (toslink is the name of the plug, its the square one). The one on the live value is a different digital out (its a mini-plug digital out) then on the x-gamer and mp3 versions (I forgot how). I'm pretty sure you can get an adapter for the mini-plug digital out to convert it to something (not sure what, forgot that also).

I think some of the x-gamers and mp3 ver. are just gold plated plugs instead of color coded.
