Well, I had the SBLive for ages - fantastic card.  Then the gameport
suddenly stopped working fo no apparent reason.  I thought it was driver
issues or something but it is definately hardware.  Since I play games now
and again, I needed a gameport.  The cheapest (and possibly only) option was
to buy another sound card.  I got the PCI128 for �8+vat as opposed to a new
Live which is �25+vat.  Now I run all my sound throught the Live as it has
EAX2 and surround etc. but only use the PCI128 for games under windows.
Not the best solution but a nice cheap one
