Hey,

I think I had the same problem with my SB Live. I run a Dual Celeron. When
I would use xmms to play mp3s, nothing would come out of the speakers,
even though when I used cat /dev/sndstat it showed a correctly detected
and configured SB Live, on irq 18, which used to work fine in Linux.

Finally, out of curiosity, I opened up the case and moved my SB Live to
PCI slot 2. Then it was on irq 16, and it worked.

:-)

Maybe this will work for you
