in fact, the live 24bit is the same as the audigy SE, the downside of them is, they have no hardware acceleration, which may be a problem while gaming or trying something that require a bit more of the sound card
the live 5.1 has the emu10k1 chipset which is known to be somehow good, but it indeed does not have the EAX.
have you tried the audigy se in 5.1 sound systems? does it work fine?
thanks!!!

I use the audigy se on my system and it has pretty good sound quality. I think the main difference between the audigy and the live is that the audigy support EAX I believe its called. EAX is great in windows dx9 and greater games.
I have read that the live and audigy se are the exact same card except with different firmwares. So you may want to search around to see if you can find any live to audigy flashes.
