I have had plenty of trouble getting good sound from GPL with my SB live! card, but today I finally did something that seems to fix the problem once and for all... It seems the SB cards have good hardware, but comes with lousy drivers... So i came across a very good website: http://www.kxproject.com They have made completely new drivers for a wide range of SB cards (all those with 10k1 and 10k2 DSPs, wich starts from SB 512 PCI, if I am not mistaken, and goes up through the Audigy range, almost any version), there are so many features with these drivers I spent 3 days before I could work out how to set my studio pc with audigy2... Anyway, I also tried installing these drivers on my gaming computer with a SB live! 5.1 card, and there you go: Nice sound in GPL, hardware accelation set to max. I haven't tried NR2003, but my guess is it'll work nicely as well... This *may* be old news, but anyway, here goes. ---Asgeir---

I'll try these drivers once they support the Audigy2 ZS series. Right now I have a decent working setup using the creative drivers.

Thanks for this link. I have been trying to get a sound blaster live to work for a week now, and I hope this solves some of the problems I am having.
