After much frustration I believe I have located the reason why sblive soundcard doesn't work on a Gateway Performance PC. The reason: the card produces analog output by default whereas the speakers sold with this PC (Boston 735 typically) are DIGITAL (well done guys!!!!). Windoze/Gateway has a secret mechanism to swap output on the driver but this info has not yet reached linux emu10k1 driver writers. Check out: http://opensource.creative.com/pipermail/emu10k1-devel/ Solution: Buy analog speakers or wait until someone enlightens the linux community. Richard Kleeman
