I think the SBLive ! Value card is different than the card I have - not at
my machine now so I can't get the details. The emu10K1 driver is updated
frequently on the Creative site - you could always save the driver that is
supplied by Mandrake and try the update - if it messes anything up then put
back the old one. There is a FAQ on the site that describes the included
features in the driver.
