I've got an out of the box, Linux system and it came with Soundblaster
live, which I got them to upgrade to Platinum. It's an awesome sound
system and I have since upgraded MDK from 7.2 to 8.0 and no problems
with the sound at all, If there were any big problems with SBL, I don't
think they would put them on a specifically Linux system, but I could be
wrong. They did sell me a winmodem, although in all fairness, it is one
I added on to the system. Still, it seems they either didn't know or
didn't care. I guess what system you're using is probably something to
consider, when determining compatability. I have been misled, by
following someone's advice on something that fine worked for them but
not for me, because of differences in the two systems. Sometimes it's
not Linux that has the problem, but rather there is an incompatability
in your hardware or your configuration. What works for someone else may
not work for you. I have found that advice is just something to give me
some ideas to start my experimentation, but not an end in itself. Don't
get me wrong, I'm not underestimating the value of advice. A hammer is a
great tool to drive a nail, but to countersink it, a nail punch is
required. Advice and experimentation work together like that. But hey!
The pioneer spirit goes with the Linux territory.

bought a new SB Live card today and booted Linux turned Kudzu back on
and then removed my old soundcard booted Linux and Kudzu instaled the
card flawlessly. Perhaps for some this was to easy but I find it simply
fantastic. On a sidenote I really like the autocomplete feature in Kmail
1.3/KDE 2.2 if we have any KDE developers on the list!

Thanks for sharing the info John. I was interested in getting a SB Live
card myself, but chickened out after reading some comments about their
compatibility with LM. But now I might just get one.
Cheers
