Soundblaster live! 5.1

Kde complains about the soundcard. That it can´t find it. Where do I find a driver for my soundblaster live 5.1? And how do I install it?
I new to linux so pleas help.

(Thank you those who helped me last time whith my kernel problem)

have you tried

/sbin/modprobe/emu10k1

that should load the module for a SoundBlaster Live.

is incorrect

but here's what I do

Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.modules and look for the sound card section for this...

Code:

# Sound Blaster Live support:

/sbin/modprobe emu10k1

You'll need to uncomment it if it isn't already, then either reboot, or run the command

Code:

/sbin/modprobe emu10k1

after that you'll need to su to root, and

Code:

chmod 666 /dev/dsp*; chmod 666 /dev/mixer*

and you should be good to go.

quite right, sorry for the misleading post
I meant to say /sbin/modprobe emu10k1 of course
