Request:
You are searching for a driver for the Creative Soundblaster Live!, but no information can be found about a driver for this card.
Procedure:
No OpenSource-driver was available for the Soundblaster Live! until now, but Creative Labs has now developed a driver for this card.
The driver can be found at the URL http://developer.soundblaster.com/linux/.
Please install this driver in the following way:
- Download the current driver from the URL http://developer.soundblaster.com/linux/.
- Extract the tar.gz-File as user root (e.g. tar -xzvf sblive-0.2b.tar.gz).
- Change to the directory package and follow the steps described in the README in section "Manual Installation". Do not use the install-script provided by Creative Labs, as this script could damage your SuSE-System.
Please accept that we cannot give any support for this driver, as it is only available as a binary-only package.
Any feedback regarding the installation of the driver can be sent to feedback@suse.de.
