Fupix,

If you have a card that is *not* a soundblaster Live! then you can do it
fairly easily.  The easier way is to licence the Open Sound System.
It's about $20 and can be purchased from www.opensound.com.  The free
way is to use ALSA.  the url is www.alsa-project.org.  It's a bit more
difficult to set up though.  I have used both and currently use ALSA.
Both work perfectly.

I'll be happy to help you setting up ALSA if you have any questions.
