Hi Sean,

the module for the Live is "emu10k1".
Also, you should be using 'modprobe', since that handles module
dependencies (insmod doesn't)

'modprobe emu10k1'

should get you going.
Also Debian doesn't allow users to access the sound device by default,
so if your username is "sean" you need to do

'adduser sean audio'

to add your user to the audio group.
