Ok, I just bought an used live drive one and I've got a question...

What do these jumpers do?

JP1 - IC85 (has no jumpers on it)
JP2 - (no jumpers)
JP3 - can be set to CDB or DD (it's set do DD right now)
JP4 - can be set to OUT2 or OUT0 (it's set to OUT2 right now)
JP6 - can be set to RCA_IN or OPT/P-IN (it's set to OPT/P-IN right now)

Also, can the midi in and out connectors in the live drive be used simultaneously with the midi in the joystick connector or not?

Any info on this? Thanks!

Ok, I was able to find out that IC85 should have a jumper on it if dinamic microphones are being connected to the live drive, and should be kept without a jumper for condenser mics... I still have no clue about what the other jumpers do... And I can't find any info at creative's web site. Anybody???

well, we can guess that other jumpers do something with routing inside LD (e.g. RCA_IN or OPT/P-IN swaps coaxial and optical inputs in some way)... Although i've never seen detailed info on that. Someone with LD can sit and check what happens after jumping

>Also, can the midi in and out connectors in the live drive be used simultaneously with the midi in the joystick connector or not?

Audigy - Yes, Live - No.

I'll see if I'm brave enough to experiment with these jumeprs... I was wondering if the RCA_IN / OPT jumper would allow me to use spdif n and spdif out RCA's as R+L line inputs (just like the live drive II has)... In another thread you said that the live drive inputs had a much lower noise compared to the AC97 input in the sblive card. You were right. AC97 gives me -61 yo -63 floor noise level and live drive gives -89 or -90!!! After connecting it to cables and my mixer and with the mixer pre-amps on and volumes opened I it's still as low as -73. Now my recording have no annoying noise anymore, what is great.
