Hi
everyone... 

I just found out the other day that the sound card
(Creative Labs Audigy FX) in my dual boot desktop doesn't have Linux
drivers (specifically, Ubuntu). Windows side works fine. In travelling
around Creative Labs' website, I noticed a serious lack of Linux
commitment from CL. 

Does anyone have experience with any sort of PCI-e
sound card that has available Linux drivers? I value "cheap" over "lots
of flashy lights". And being half deaf, I don't really care for some
audiophile-level sound machine, just something that can drive my
external speakers reasonably well (the sound card on the motherboard has
issues, thus my need for a separate card).
