So, when YAST 2 lists the cards and it is listed or not?
I see just the SoundBlaster live listed in the suse hardware page and not the 5.1?
Did you have to do anything special to get it to work?

When I first installed it, it was a little tricky, but when I installed SuSE 8.0, it was detected and configured automatically.
Ah..what type and number of connectors is there on the back... I like RCA jacks....
There are 5 of those little jacks you get on walkman-style CD players (Are those RCA jacks? You'd never guess I'd a PhD in Electrical Engineering ;-)) and a standard joystick midi port. These are line-out (also useable with headphones), rear-out (for powered speakers), a yellow one that I guess you use with 5.1 sound (I've only used the first two simultaneously), line-in and microphone-in. There are also internal connectors for the PC speaker and CD-ROM, something called and SP-DIF connector that I never worked out (maybe I could connect my CD-Rewiter - I've got a spare cable - , but one CD player is enough for me), AUX connector, a couple of connectors for an internal modem (I don't have one) and some expansion slot for an optional digital I/O card that comes with the warning: don't connect to an IDE interface.
