when i did it the first time, there were 2 soundcards in my list in linux.. there is the one onboard.. AC97 which i DISABLED in the bios so i can use my sblive card.and it works GREAT in xp.. but in linux in souncards, when i do the "detection" theres a box that comes up with a tab with BOTH on it.. and NEITHER one works..

First look at /etc/modules.conf and make sure there are no entries for the disabled card. If there are, remove them. If that does not take care of it you probably have an entry for the disabled card in the /etc/sysconfig/hwconf file. You can manually delete the entry for the old card, or rename that file to something else and let kudzu redetect your hardware by typing:

# service kudzu start

Just as a note, the "emu10k1" kernel module requires the "ac97_codec" to be loaded.

Do an /sbin/lsmod.  Do you see something similar to the following?

sound                  52320   0 [opl3 sb_lib uart401 mpu401]
soundcore               3440   6 [emu10k1 sb_lib sound]
ac97_codec              9296   0 [emu10k1]  
emu10k1                47712   1
