Hi Amanda! It looks like you are using the wrong module for the Sblive Value card. It should be snd-emu10k1, not snd-emu10k1x. The snd-emu10k1x module is for the Dell Creative Labs card, a crummy software driven version of the sblive card. Under Linux, it is not multi channel, and in my experience is most unsatisfactory. The sblive value card on the other hand, is a wonderful multi channel sound card. Just make sure you are using the correct module, and I think your problems will disappear. Gene
