| I know how you feel buddy, My Windows system has no onboard sound at the Moment but PCLinuxOS picked up my sound flawlessly. You can D/L it here: http://ftp.belnet.be/linux/pclinuxos...glish/preview/ Jake |

| yeah all models of soundblaster work but the x-fi AFAIK. i have an audigy 2 ZS, works perfectly in knoppix, **** small linux, debian, all out of the box. even the front live!drive and optical outputs work, all i need to do is add a line to /etc/modules and the IR receiver on it works. the only problem is that when i plug headphones in, the other outputs dont turn off, they do in windows... whatever i dont even care oh and btw this is the linux forum and i cant even say the name of a distro hahaha |

| Perhaps I'm doing something wrong but it does matter. The X-FI cards yse a new architecture and are not supported by any Creative Labs or ALSA drivers that I know of.
