Hi,

This is documented in the snd_emu10kx(4) manual as follows:

  The snd_emu10kx driver does not support the following sound cards
  (although they have names similar to some supported ones):

  o   Creative Sound Blaster Live! 24-Bit, identified by FreeBSD as
      "emu10k1x Soundblaster Live! 5.1".

Best regards,

Glen
