This is real funny that you should say this as i have a SB Live card and
Mandrake 7.1 installed it fine i get some the options for the card but it is
not from SoundBlaster.
so my question is. Should i download the package from SoundBlaster and install
it so i can have all the features of the SB Live card that i have in Windows.
