Ok some quick tests
what does lsmod show
if no sound modules are shown try the obvious and do modprobe sb
If you get errors look in /lib/modules/2.6*/kernel/drivers/sound/ (I
think path is right, not at my box) then look for an oss and and alsa
directory and look for a driver that looks possible and try it.
Alsa modules tend to have snd- prefixed to the name of the driver
I believe the ALSA module for an SB LIVE! is the snd-emu10k1. At least it is for my PC128
card.
