Creative Mixer
The Mixer is installed with the Sound Blaster PCI128 drivers and other software; an icon is added to the
Taskbar in the right corner. You may open the Mixer by double-clicking on the icon
in the Taskbar.
The Show menu allows you to customize the Mixer display to include only those panels you select.
Additional panels not included in the figure above include sliders for Auxiliary, Modem, and TV
devices, and a list of Voice input devices.
