The problem with SBLive! soundcards is that they are not all the same chipsets! First, get rid of those buzzes, by turning down either pcm or igain - one or other will be to blame, I think. Then, run harddrake (from Mandrake Control Centre) and ask it to list your hardware devices. It should give you information about the card it believes it to be, and which driver it is loading. Write down all you can find there. Also, if you step through the buttons you will find a troubleshooting button. That lists steps you can take to gather information. Run the commands listed there and copy the output into a tex editor page. If you haven't sorted it by that time, mail the list again and append that file.
