Hi:-)
for starters look at
http://home.wanadoo.nl/whatdoya/sblive/#bookmark1
Most likely you need a kernel-rebuild ( 2.4.X) can't remember if I
ever got my sound-blaster Live 5.1 under 2.2.18 going, so I am not
sure, but you can just check by cding into /usr/src/linux and do xconfig
then you will see in sound if sound-blaster is there ( emu10k or so)
as for the hookup, are there no /symbols/ on the metal-strip, they
usually tell how one can connect any speakers (and other stuff) to the
card.
a visit to the sound-blaster homepage where you could get the
specifications of your card might be another approach.
