Yes it does, it's a Realtek ALC898 based card which is supported by<br>
the snd_hda_intel module.<br>
<br>
I imagine the problem you're having is due to an on-board card that's<br>
registering as card0 (the default), leaving the Audigy FX as card1.<br>
<br>
Dealing with multiple sound cards has always been a pain, here's some<br>
people having similar trouble:<br>
