Description:
|
I pulled this sound card out of an old Gateway at work before scrapping the tower. I needed a working sound card when I discovered that my integrated card did not work.
It works with ALSA and a 2.6 kernel.
If you want to enjoy sound, you will have to use either a set of powered speakers or headphones. Volume control in Linux is not refined. If you set the volume to maximum, there will be many artifacts. Keep the volume low at around 20% maximum. Use the volume knob on the speakers to adjust the sound.
If you have unpowered speakers, like me, you can hear what you are listening to, but it is nothing like what you would expect from MS Windows using the same speakers.

Follow the directions for installing ALSA for Minislack and the card will work without further configuration.
Amplification is poor, but quality is acceptable at low volumes.
Use the volume knob on your speakers to adjust the volume.
With unpowered speakers I can hear system events (in SuSE). I use headphones if I need to listen to something carefully.
I salvaged this card from a broken machine.

For some reason, I cannot install this card with Suse 10.0 despite success in 8.0 and 9.1.
Going through YAST, ti detects the card but then gives me a message like "An error occured and this cannot be installed"
Bit annoyed as I cannot play CDs without this Card - my Mobo (ASUS TEK 915) does not have a sound jumber to connect an audio cable to.

This card is great. Nice sound quality and compitablity. I've been using it since 2002 and it is still working great. Fron RedHat 7.0 to RedHat Enterprise linux4 ES... I've tried it and it never let me down. Just having problem testing with Fedora Core5. Otherwise it is great. The sad thing is Creative Labs has already decleared it as outdated.
