Make sure what you got is the "real" sound blaster live!, not the Dell 
model. 

If you have the Dell model, you'll need emu10k1x, not emu10k1, module from 
alsa. You may have to compile alsa support yourself.

get the alsa source. do a 

./configure --with-cards=emu10k1x; make; make install

you'll be fine.

recognize this card. Although, running the 'Sound Card Detection'
