Soundcard advice wanted

Post by A.P. Hillia » Mon, 08 Jan 1996 04:00:00



I'm getting ready to buy a soundcard and will more than likely want to
use it primarily under Linux.

I've perused the soundcard newsgroups and FAQs but am still pretty
clueless about what's good and what will run well with Linux, i.e. I
don't want a card that's only partially supported by Linux at this point.

Specifically, does anyone use MediaTrix' AudioTrixPro?  I am a musician
who will be using a soundcard for more than just games so I'd appreciate
advice from anyone who's using a soundcard with Linux for
recording/sampling purposes etc.

Thanks!

if your using a sound card for music gravis seems the best supported for linux
and has fairly good quality wave table sound I have had no problems with my
card under linux although the gravis is starting to seem dated. I know someone
who has a turtle beach sound card and the instrument quality for music sounds
exelent although they dont use it with linux I have heard drivers are available
for turtle beach cards

>> The SOUND HOWTO mentions alternate sound drivers, including Turtle Beach Multisound, Tahiti and Monterey. They are not included in the

standard distributions. Contact Markus Mummert

1. Soundcard advice: Soundblaster Live, or... ?

I'm looking to get a new sound card, because I can never get the one I have
working properly with Linux (it's some crappy Crystal ISA thing that sounds
OK with Windows, but...).  Maybe I can get better sound anyway, as well as a
few new features.  I was thinking about the Soundblaster Live Value, because
it's so well-regarded by all the Windows magazines.  However, I don't know
what really separates it from the lesser models.  I don't need surround
sound or anything, just really good stereo.  I would like to have a normal
audio line out, so I can pipe internet radio through my home stereo (it's in
another room), and have it sound really good.

Any ideas?  What's the big deal about the Live, anyway?  Are the *128 and
AWE64 just as good?  Are there other brands I should look at?  Of course,
I'm concerned about how good/easy a Linux driver is available, without too
much fiddling.  I'm running Mandrake 7.0-2, so anything with a good driver
in there would be best.
