Actually, it runs very well under Linux :-) (thank you WINE!)
You have to run in DirectDraw mode not D3D but that may change with
recent developments ( the D3D->OpenGL translation layer &/or WineX)

NOOoooo....
The windows Live drivers are _crap_ but then so are the Audigy drivers... it just seems to be Creative's thing. However I find the SB Live to be a really nice card under Linux (and pretty good under Windows once you get the machine to both boot _and_ load the live drivers, as opposed to one _or_ the other).

I don't think for my employer. Unless stated otherwise, my mail is my opinion.
