CreativeLabs Sound Blaster Audigy 2
Emu10K2






 Sound Blaster
Audigy SB1394
(SB 0090)
Emu10K2

uniaud114RC1 and uniaud114RC6

Creative Sound Support  informed me that the SB 0090 is an OEM Audigy sound card with a 'fire wire' port.

CreativeLabs Sound Blaster Audigy SE
(SB0570)
Emu10K2

uniaud114RC1 and uniaud114RC6

My experience of an SB0090 Audigy is that uniaud114RC1 and uniaud114RC6 packages work but that the uniaud114RC6 does not work if the ACPI driver is installed.
