SoundBlaster Live and 9.1 Kernel 2.6.5

Hello, I recently upgraded from Suse 8.0 to 9.1. My SoundBlast Live card worked fine with 8.0 but gave no sound at all on 9.1 with the original kernel 2.6.4. I updated to 2.6.5 and rebooted (many times actually), but still no sound. I have Googled and looked at alsa-project.org, all to no avail. There has been no hardware configuration change, the drivers load properly, alsamixer and kamix see the card and show sliders for muting/unmuting and changing volume, but nothing works. The speakers are analog, not digital. Does anyone have a clue what might be wrong? I'm stumped. Thanks, Jim Cunning
