Description: This product is defaultly supported by the Linux kernel, and simply works. It's a cheap sound card that I would recommend to anyone having problems with their onboard sound systems.

(even the performace/sound in Windows XP got a lot better after I'd disabled my onboard VIA82x sound)

Work fine. Only 1 channel (cheap card) but can be emulated using some threaded sound deamon.
It doesn't support 3d efect of 4 speakers, you have to desactivate few options or the sound is crappy and loud.
