Hi Doc and Frank,
as I stated, I haven't really tried hard to make them work together. Doing so, I have to do a complete "clean up" of the PC, backing things up etc and I just didn't bother until now that I miss my softsynth toys.

I guess I'll have to do it sometime, the question remains if the new Soundblaster can do it in one card. You know, you have to take the Live's output and feed it to the Audiophile line in, etc etc, but then you lose future expansion like buying 5.1 surround sound blah blah
Thanks, Theodore
