Oh yeah, I already tried that.
No sound with the livecd (feisty) either.

I logged onto Tigerdirect last night and purchased a Diamond Extreme 5.1 
card,
before even thinking to check to see if it will be compatible
(I've never purchased a sound card in my life, always using onboard sound).
Anyone have any experience with these cards?
It won´t be here for a couple of days, but, I'm wondering if I should not
have instead purchased a CL Soundblaster, now.
