They have been looking at modding Audigy 2 drivers to run on Audigy 1 and Live - it may be the boost that card needs.
The other common chipset on many cards, is a CMI - and their older ones were pretty awful, but it seems they've turned the corner - at my local computer fair, CMI based 6-channel cards are really cheap, and it's the same chipset as on some "herculese" models - and uynless they do some really clever tricks with card or drivers, I doubt there's much difference.
PS. For Midi on the live, I manged to extract the 8Mb GM APS one from a download - if midi is what you're after, I'll rake out the detail!

The general consensus about the ultimate gaming card was set: Turtle Beach Santacruz- double the Creative card options and one fifth of their problems, plus a BETTER sound output, and you get the idea.
But nothing is permanent, it seems that the Santacruz has met its rival:
It's called M-Audio Revolution, and according to the initial user posts it is a real revoution: superb sound quality for some $ 100 or close to that.
