Thanks for that - I had a bit of a search around and found a very helpful site
at http://www.linuxnewbie.org which has a section on how to get the SB Live!
working with Linux. I'm at work at the moment, but I've sent the necessary files
to myself back at home, where I'll no doubt be having fun tonight recompiling my
kernel to enable SMP support and getting my soundcard to work! :)
Thanke fot the info - I've bookmarked it for reference if these instructions
don't help.....

There's a site you can go to set up SB Live! It's worth a shot.

Subject: [newbie] Sound card support in 6.1 and 7.0
I've been playing with 6.1 for about 2 months now, and I'm enjoying myself
immensely. However, since building myself an SMP machine I've had to change
my
soundcard from an Ensoniq to a Soundblaster Live! The Ensoniq was happily
supported under 6.1 and a call to 'sndconfig' sorted everything out. Music
poured forth. Everything was wonderful.
With the Soundblaster, 'sndconfig' merrily informs me that the SB Live!
isn't
supported. Dark days indeed.....
Dang!
I'm presently downloading the 7.0-2 ISO from a mirror. 24.2 hours to go! :(
What I'd like to know is my SB Live! supported in this release, and does
anyone
have any idea of when (if!) it'll be supported?
