Hi there, FWIW: The SB Live drivers from Creative, when built include a couple of configuration utilities. I only glanced thro the documentation on them but it looked like they were very much related to configuration of the routing between the various features available on the card. Maybe this is so for the Platinum?

It is. While we're on the SBLive! topic I have some questions about mine. I have the SBLive Platinum. It actually works much better in SuSE 7.1 and 7.2 then in Win2k with the drivers that were on the CD (which I find very amusing) but I'm having trouble with the LiveDrive (The extra plugs that fit in a drive bay so you can hook up stuff at the front of your computer). I got the card so that I could plug my Guitar (and sometimes I borrow a bass from a friend) into the front 1/4 line-in/mic-in, and also I can plug my studio headphones into the Headphone jack in the front. I haven't had a chance to test the line-in yet, but when I use the front headphone jack, the only sound that is produced is what comes through the PCM or whatver it's called - on Windows it's generically called "wave out". I.e. Wave files, Ogg Vorbis, MP3s, the KDE startup sound, anything that's a file on the computer comes to the front headphone output, but audio from CDs never comes out the LiveDrive headphone jack -- it's only played through the main speakers. Same for the voice microphone, which I'm currently using on my guitar until I can get a good pickup -- it comes out of Line-out1 in the back (that's the primary 1/8 speaker jack), but does not emerge from the headphone-out in the LiveDrive. The humorous thing is the LiveDrive doesn't work at all in Windows :-) Still I find that very confusing, it's like it's some internal routing problem, or something. Is this a bug or is it normal? Could someone that has a SBLive! Platinum please hook up to the front head phone jack and see if you cat get CD, line-in or mic-in audio to emerge from the LiveDrive? I'd really appreciate it. Let me know if you had to do anything special. Thanks.

Matt
