Sorry Stephen, maybe my brain just isn't working today, I'm sure that's really good advice but I just don't understand what to do where/when! Could you explain in very simple newbie terms for this very simple newbie please? ;-)

Ok...first, open a terminal up. Then type "su" and put in the root password...then type "draksound" - wait a sec and then you'll get a dialogue come up with the hardware information - it will tell you IF there is a driver loaded or not...and what is supposedly right for y'alls system...you can then click the down-arrow and either choose one of the drivers listed (if one ain't already chosen for ya)...or you can click the button that says "Let me pick any driver" - or the "Trouble Shooting" button...either which - this is a start...

Thanks Stephen - here's what I got:
Here you can select an alternative driver (either OSS or ALSA) for your sound card (Creative Labs|SB Live! (audio)).
Your card currently use the OSS "audigy" driver (default driver for your card is "snd-emu10k1")
I checked the drop-down menu, and that is the only driver available. Problem is, I don't actually have that sound card, or any sound card at all, so presumably I need to delete the card first..
I didn't see a button saying "Let me pick any driver" or "Troubleshooting" - just "Help", "OK" or "Cancel". Tried help, and it told me the difference between OSS and ALSA, but not how to delete a phantom sound card!
