[newbie] Soundblaster Live! 24-bit supported in 10.1?
Does anyone have the Creative labs SoundBlaster Live! 24-bit card running in Mandrake 10.1 under alsa? The Mandrake supported hardware matrix has model numbers that don't seem to correspond to any model numbers on the Creative web site. I am in the market for a new low-end sound card and considered this card. I know the Live! 5.1 card works with the emu10k chipset, but these don't seem to be available any more.

The gigabyte web site has drivers for mdk 9 and rh 8 - 9 for the ide raid but no sata raid drivers. so i presume mandrake have updated ide raid drivers or the driver for mdk 9 works. I don't think the driver for mdk 9 and rh 8-9 will work on mdk 10.1. The promise ide raid that I have has only drivers for mdk 9. I have tried it on mdk 9.2, but not good. It is so since the binary driver module is compiled only for mdk 9 kernel. Thought I would try MandrakeMove on it first.Fingers crossed. This should be good. If gigabyte has the whole source code of the driver, not the source code for the hooking (or whachamacallit) program which is just used for linking the binary driver module and the kernel, then I believe mdk 10.1 has it.
