In travelling around Creative Labs' website, I noticed a serious lack of Linux commitment from CL.</div><div><br></div><div>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).</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
