Value [CT4832] (rev.7, serial:0x80271102) at 0x9c00, irq 17 Please note that the SBLive drivers are incomplete and broken timing because Creative is very uncooperative. Due to that your results with PA on this sound card may vary. Don't buy Creative. (Why would anyone do that anyway these days?) > Strangely pulse does not detect the other devices. This is usually a sign that the drivers used are buggy or are blocked by some other process. Run "pulseaudio -vvvv" in a terminal to figure out what is going on.
