I had to turn off the M/B integrated "Azalia" sound chip in the BIOS. For what it's worth, here are the automatically loaded modules for my SoundBlaster Live soundcard on Debian Lenny which is producing sound beautifully:

EMU10k1 (rev 08) 05:03.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! Game Port (rev 08) Why don't you post the output from 'lsmod | grep snd' and "lspci | grep Creative' to the list. That way we can see what's registered at the OS level.
