[kwlug-disc] Linux supported sound cards

For configuring pulse audio, I highly recommend the program
pavucontrol. it's graphical, gives you all the options and just
works(ha, really) on most systems.

Yes
USB options are good. I think there is a 2in 2out (one stereo channel
each way) device by behringer that is around 50 bucks now. More than an
internal device obviously. I have used one on a Ubuntu laptop a few
years ago. Worked immediately tho I had to tell pulseaudio to use it
instead of the built in one 

Pulseaudio does not replace the need for
alsa or OSS (depreciated) drivers. I will definitely spend a few minutes
on the layers of sound processing on Linux during my November talk

Linux supported sound cards   

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).
