I discovered this method of patching PC Sound Blaster Live! PCI cards
so that they will run on PCI Macs.
The link is here: <

Within the Patching Guide zip-archive is the PDF wihich explains what
needs doing, what cards may work and which ones haven't worked.
Three stuff'd files are required and these are downloads 1 -3.
? [HexEdit v2.0][1] is a hex-editor and is required to update the data
fork of the Creative audio driver.
? [Open Music System v2.3.8][2] ? OMS allows compatible MIDI programs
to interact with your computer's hardware. Used to interface MIDI
applications with the Sound Blaster Live.
? SB Live Macintosh v1.1 ? This contains the system extensions,
drivers and software for the Sound Blaster Live card.
[ResEdit][3] is also required.
This entry is not yet finished. I'm currently installing mine now and
I'll update this entry with pictures and my experience once I've
finished.
The purpose of doing this is to see if whether it works with my old SB
card for the PC and then to see if the environmental audio (EAX) is
activated in games like Diablo II and Deus Ex.
