Does anybody know if "Sound Blaster Live! 5.1" works in SUSE Linux 9.0?
The SUSE hardware database lists it's not supported.

5.1 ISN'T supported!! I spent over an hour working on a box with one and "NADA!"
I've bought it anyway. It is identified as $ /sbin/lspci | grep Creative 00:09.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 0a) 00:09.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! MIDI/Game Port (rev 0a) and the analog output (at least line1) works OK. Perhaps something doesn't work but I connect headphones to it only so I don't mind. I'm not satisfied with the sound quality of a built in "Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio" on a SuperMicro MB (SUSE 8.2). The SB Live! Player 5.1 has a much better sound. -- A.M.
