Owners of Creative Labs' Sound Blaster Live! and Live! Value cards have a new download to check out today as the company has released the latest in its on-going Live!Ware program.

　　The latest download enables the card to process 32 hardware-accelerated 3D voices, which some owners of the card have been playing with in games like Unreal since Creative released a beta driver to enable the feature.

　　A secondary feature called Live!Surround enables the Live! card for to connect to a home theater surround sound system. If you're one of the lucky gamers that have TV-output on your PC, the addition of surround sound is bound to make the experience of playing your EAX or DirectSound 3D games larger than life.

　　"Live!Surround technology and today's Live!Ware release represent a huge step forward for Creative in driving the convergence of PC gaming with home theater systems," said W. H. Sim, chairman/CEO of Creative. "Creative is again leading the way in 3D gaming. We are delivering real solutions for the real world that will work now for our customers."
