I recently bought a Creative Audigy sound card. I had a Live! before, and that worked just fine. The Audigy won't work though.
Any ideas?

There is no driver support for the Audigy.

Audigy owners have a chance for BeOS.There is driver support for Audigy for linux. Porting linux drivers to BeOS should not be so hard. So maybe you can request this work from them. I think they can do it if enough people asks. Just follow the link and request for Audigy driver

It runs on linux just fine for me, but i have probs starting old dos games (yeah, i still love some such :o) with sound under XP and 2k - better say, sound dont works at all. It worked fine with old ISA SB 16, but no isa port now =(
It dont works under 98 as well, as it uses I/O other then 0220h, and "manual" flag is blended out =(
Any tips?

Odd, I've never had ANY of the problems it lists on that page. I'm using WindowsXP, which I purchased litterally the day it came out, and the SB Audigy, which again, was purchased the day it came out. I've never had a squeal of death, nor any of the other problems, even before the new drivers were released. I notice that all the complaints on that page were, for the most part, sent in by one person, whom, it is my personal opinion, was smoking crack. And yes, I use soundfonts quite a bit. I like my Naughtigy. Now to get it to work in Linux...

After looking into why I get pops and cracks from the rear channel with mine, I have found that it is most likely the motherboard and specifically VIA chipsets that cause the problem. Until VIA or my mobo manufacturer post a fix I'm stuck... :(
