 alsa sound card I own a terratec 24/96 card, which sort of works in ALSA as ICE1712 [Envy24] (rev 02) under stock linux 10.0. Alas, emphasis is on "sort of." A variety of programs, such as the realaudio player, do not really work. (Used to, but no longer. now sounds like mickey mouse.) some other programs also like to crash. the kde mixer fails, so I have no easy volume control, even in xmms. I have pretty much had it with fiddling with this sort-of-sound stuff. (I also believe that the onboard ADI1980 from my Asus k8v MB is not supported.) I really want a decent sounding card with low noise level for music, not for gaming. Is there any modern, affordable (~$100) sound card that is highly recommended, where everything really works under ALSA? I could even do USB, if it were well supported, and reasonably plug-and-play, preferably working without soaking up too much bus and cpu time. the ALSA website has tons of manufacturers, but no clear recommendations---and many of the sound cards are ancient. help!!! sincerely, /iaw      |

Linux 10.0 is a few decades down the road, if they keep the same pace. Currently we have Linux 2.6. >the kde mixer fails, so I >have no easy volume control, even in xmms. Try alsamixer. >(I also believe that the >onboard ADI1980 from my Asus k8v MB is not supported.) AFAIK the main sound functionality comes from the VIA VT8237 south bridge, and it is sort-of supported by the VIA 8233 sound driver (someone mentioned something like that in another thread on the K8V (or Athlon 64 MBs in general)). >I really want a decent sounding card with low noise level for music, >not for gaming.

I have a SB Audigy (without suffix, rev 03), and the things I have tried work (I don't create music, though); however, I guess this card is no longer sold (maybe used).
