Erm creative cards are supported in linux, by official _Free Software_ drivers. At most all you should need to do is compile in the drivers (emu10k1), I didn't even have to do that. It was easier to get my soundblaster live working in Linux than it was in Windows. :confused:
Calum:
well it didn't work in linux. i went to their website and it said it wasn't supported in linux. the CD that came with it only had windows drivers, and mandrake did not pick up the card on installation, even though mandrake has (in my opinion) the best detection of sound cards amongst the popular linux distros.
perhaps all soundblasters are supported by these drivers, just the not so new ones?
i went for the soundblaster first because i (wrongly) thought "these are the defacto standard for soundcards, this has the best chance of working".
