thanks Mucka
if its a sb live 5.1 card then its really easy to get it going.
I'd use apt-get to install the alsa drivers.
you can get apt-get from
[/url][url=http://apt.freshrpms.net]http://apt.freshrpms.net There are a few howtos on here on working with apt.
Then you'd run
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get install alsa-driver alsa-utils alsa-lib
alsaconf
that should load up your sound drivers
is it by any chance the Live 5.1 modified by dell? I had to download the drivers at
www.opensound.com
it worked and now I have sound, the bad thing is the drivers are commercial. I didn't try alsa because opensound.creative.com suggest opensound.com
