Description:
|
This latest (Nove 2004) offering from Creative does not work very well at all under Linux.
ALSA have issued a new driver (audigyls) that MUST be used and although it will produce sound in my experience that is about all it will do.
OSS's offering is better in that all the i/o's actually work but IMHO thi scard is not as good as the humbler SBLive!.
Save yourself some time & money and get a Live! instead

This guy obviously has no idea what hes talking about. This card works great under Linux. I have tried it using 6 different distros and works great. Also this card does not work well with OSS, just switch your sound system to ALSA and you will be fine. One other issue is to change the latency of this card to the smallest value possible, that will fix any cracking you might get under some programs like Realplayer.

I had no problems installing, only the issue with crackling as was observed in another review. How do I reduce the latency of this card in my system to eliminate the cracking under realplayer?

It worked fine out of the box for me with Ubuntu! Fedora Core 3...LOL good luck with that.
I would have to recommend another card besides this one due to poor mixer support. The SB Live! X Gamer CT4760....You can get them on Ebay for like $5-10 bucks.

This is the LS version of the Audigy which is a completely different chipset to EVERY OTHER Audigy & SB that Creative ever produced. Yeah, it works but just. Really, go buy any other Audigy or go back to a SBLive!
Compared to the gzillion simultaneous channels that i run under an old Live!, this Audigy LS's pathetic channel count had it returned to the shop on the same day that I bought it.

Just because KohlyKohl pissed me off with his opening comment :-)
As of todays date the Audigy LS is STILL on ALSA's blacklist
