Hi, it may just be possible but i belive it involves a hardware mod but only a small one. try this link

Here they show how to mod a S\B live generation card upto live 5.1. Thought about doin it myself but i dont have the soldering gear, but im looking for a repair shop where the techs eyes dont look like they bin smokin dope since they were 7 :) and I may give it a try, seems the H\ware is almost exactly the same just need to clear one chip and reflash i think hope this helps
