FEATURES- XtremeSound 7.1/24-bit Sound Card with Dolby Digital Live
Diamond Xtreme Sound allows the user to experience high level,
theater quality sound while watching videos, listening to music,
and playing games all in true 7.1 channel surround sound. This is
an essential upgrade for anyone interested in increasing their
computer audio experience while freeing up valuable computer system
resources.
INTRODUCING AUDACITY: A multi-track recording/editing studio.
Audacity can record live audio through a variety of sources, such
as a microphone, or line in on the Xtreme Sound card. Level meters
help monitor volume levels before, during, and after recording. You
can dub over existing tracks to create multi-track recordings.
You can Import sound files, edit them, and combine them with other
files or with new recordings. Export your recordings in several
common file formats, such as WAV and MP3.
* Dolby Digital Live
Enjoy audio from your PC or game console through your home theater with
Dolby Digital Live. A real-time encoding technology, Dolby Digital Live
converts any audio signal into a Dolby Digital bitstream for transport
and playback through a home theater system. With it, your PC or game
console can be hooked up to your Dolby Digital-equipped audio/video
receiver or digital speaker system via a single digital connection,
eliminating the confusion of multiple cables and ensuring the integrity
of the audio signal.
The real-time interactive capabilities of Dolby Digital Live technology
are ideally suited to PCs and video game consoles because it reproduces
audio cues and effects that follow the on-screen action, transforming
gameplay into an exciting and realistic entertainment experience.
Systems using Dolby Digital Live technology can provide Dolby Digital
(5.1-channel surround sound) during gameplay, immersing players in high-
quality surround sound that puts them at the center of the action.
Gamers hear every window shatter, feel every explosion, and experience
every wipeout.
Dolby Digital Live technology is integrated into the motherboard audio
chipsets of many high-performance PCs. These PCs provide an S/PDIF
connector and use a digital cable for one-step connection to a home
theater system. Dolby Digital Live can also enable other future
entertainment capabilities on the PC because of its ability to deliver
any audio source via a single digital interface to an existing home
theater system.
* Easy editing with tools such as Cut, Copy, Paste, and Delete.

* Edit and mix an unlimited number of tracks. Fade the volume up or down
smoothly with the Envelope tool.
* Remove static, hiss, hum, or other constant background noises from your
recordings.
