Check this link: ftp://opensource.creative.com/pub/doc/live_faq.html#CardsSupported If your computer is less than 30 days old, and you report the issue to Dell, apparently they will furnish you with a standard SB Live card which is Linux friendly. It seems however that there may be a way to get the Dell card to work w/Linux, and you can check this post: http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=sw_linux&message.id=2833 that has some info in that regard. You will find other info on the SB card from Dell on DellTalk too. Many are experiencing the same problem. HTH.
