And BTW I found the SB live and value caused a raft of subtle errors and stuttering audio (made much worse by pulse) using various asus and gigabyte MBs, from SuSE 10.3 -11.1 and Gutsy - Jaunty (all various dual core AMD) In the end I use the SB only for midi and onboard for audio. Easy in SuSE serious editing on ubuntu. Use the alsa mixer, not the icon vol control James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
