Well, I get sound of it, pretty nice stereo quality. But for everything
else...
I had to use alsa's softvol since alsa driver gets no mixers from it.
No luck as of yet getting volume handle or IR remote working (see thread
in lirc-users regarding the IR).
I didn't try actually using surround sound, so don't know about that.
Although 5-channel output does work.
So, I wouldn't personally recommend getting this device since there
probably are more linux-compatible and more cheap USB alternatives
(non-Creative).
