Ok, I know this has been asked here a few times but looking back there hasn't really been any definitive answers (at least that I can find). For whatever reason it seems to be near impossible to find a clean cut list of all the different models, variations and release dates of the Sound Blaster Live! cards and what the differences are between them all. Is there anything out there that you guys have came across at all? If not maybe we can all get together on here and get some sort of an excel sheet made up that shows all this information? Who wold be interested?

There's the blurb from the KX-Project FAQ, for starters.

Audigy 2 Value (SB0400), Audigy 2 ZS Notebook (SB0350) and Audigy 4 Pro (SB0380) cards are partially supported.
The Dell OEM SB Live! (SB020x) is not yet supported since it uses a custom version of the EMU10k1, whose details are unknown. Experimental support may be provided when more information about it becomes available.
Soundblaster Live! 5.1 cards (SB022x) are supported.
Soundblaster Live! 24 Bit and Audigy LS are incompatible with kX, since they do not use the 10kX chips.

I've looked into that list before. It does have the models listed but it does not give any specific information about any of them like release dates and what differences they have unless i'm overlooking something?

I have several myself that have pulled from random machines. I just thought a quick reference guide would be beneficial for a lot of people to be able to look up and compare all the information about these cards in general not just for my own benefit.
