sound blaster help

I installed a sound blaster live card in my computer, but now when I start mandriva linux, i get the error /dev/audio not found using null output.
I checked the location, there is an "audio" file in the dev folder. Also, linux can see the sound card in the hardware profile, using the driver snd-ca106. but, stil no sound. kmix or anything doesn't even recognized I have a mixer.

previously, my comuter was using the built-in audio card.

any help to solve this is appreciated!

Did you go into the BIOS and disable the onboard sound?
Also try the snd-emu10k1 [ALSA] driver; this seems to be the most common driver used for soundblaster live cards.
