while the topic of sound and sound cards has come up, I am looking at getting a Creative Labs USB Sound Blaster Live! Model# SB0490. I checked the SuSE hardware support database, and it is unlisted, has anyone tried to use one of these with SuSE? does it work? I believe it is almost the same as the SB Live! 5.1, so I would think it would work, but just wondering if anyone has tried. thanks, -Jesse

I use the SoundBlaster MP3+ and works well except that there is no "record sound" working which means it does not work with Skype. Just plug it in and go, no need to setup in YaST, can't anyway as YaST complains that it can't load a module.

Ken, so is what your saying that playback works ok, but the line and mic in don't? or does one and not the other?I am just trying to figure out exactly what works and what don't thanks, -Jesse

Playback works great, the mic does not work at all. I even downloaded/installed the OSS driver (beta) and still have the same problem. Actually it is worse because now if I use select full duplex in KDE ControlCenter I have no sound at all. I can only use a USB sound card as there are none available for pciX 3.3 volt slots which is all that the Proliant ML330G3 has. Yes I know this is a server I am using at home but the price was right at the time and I have my PC up 24/7 so I wanted more reliability in the hardware. Perhaps there will be better support in the future. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

Using a Proliant server as a workstation is a challenge to say the least. It really is a dedicated server platform. Expecting HPaq to support sound cards _at all_ in a Proliant is _very_ wishful thinking and that goes for external ones also. They don't make allowances for it in the BIOS, drivers, etc. Bet you can't find a supported sound card list for Proliant servers. Not to say that it won't ever work, even a USB external, but you'd be better off just dedicating it to being a straight up server; stream audio and video off it to a real workstation or thin client on your home LAN. ssh or vnc into it for GUI goodness, etc. Games server! Best of luck though. I predict a l-o-n-g wait for sound support. Stan
