Hi Ken,
I definitly suggest you get last Alsa drivers and follow its
how-to, if haven't yet.
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php3?company=Creative+Labs&card=Soundblaster+Live+Platinum&chip=EMU10K1&module=emu10k1
I have SBLive value and that worked to me.
Anne, are you sure that your soundcard it isn't SB *Audigy* Platinum?
SB Audigy Platinum != SB Live Platinum
Cheers,
