Well...

I have a Schiit Fulla that I quite like and it has worked well with every
Linux distro I've used (Ubuntu 14.04 - 16.10, Voyage, Volumio, Archphile).
It is USB, plays 16 and 24 bit, 44.1 - 96KHz, has analog volume control not
accessible through software, built-in quite powerful headphone amp, fits in
my shirt pocket. Does not record though (I don't need that).

Does this help?

I've got an usb card already.
I wanted an internal card because that is easier, I don't have to edit
the alsa files all the time, and reboot and so.
Ok, there is the realtek card on the motherboard, but you can't record
or anything with that.
The only cards I can see on the market are asus and creative.

Re: [Alsa-user] how much does pulseaudio use alsa

I'm being blasted by adverts. I think the website is click bait. ;-) Open 
source people don't like adverts. I'd use the ALSA list. 

Regarding Pulse Audio, I run opensuse where you can painfully turn it off and 
on. I say painful because I really never had the selection box work without 
doing a boot. Generally things work better without Pulse Audio. It was a buggy 
program initially but eventually was OK. 

I do signal processing with sound cards so I don't need the best. In fact, I 
used those Diamond cards to get an old school 8 bit audio. 

I've had good luck getting functionality out of USB cards. For whatever reason, 
those C-Media based cards work well under Linux. 

I've often wondered why there never was a kick starter for a dedicated Linux 
sound card. Give the programmers whatever they want.

Re: [Alsa-user] how much does pulseaudio use alsa

[Kristoffer Gustafsson]

I jwant an internal card that works.
I've read much about this card and alsa, and now this stupid error in alsa that 
says unable to open slave.
I have googled and googled and found no solution.
I bought audigy rx.
Had audigy 2zs some years, and i liked it. That card worked.

"PulseAudio  serves as a proxy to
sound applications using existing kernel sound components like ALSA
 or OSS
. Since ALSA is included in Arch
Linux by default, the most common deployment scenarios include PulseAudio
with ALSA.

Kristoffer, we don't know what would be "better" for you.

Must your DAC be portable? USB or something else (internal maybe)? High
sample rates? Record or just playback? Record multichannel? Etc.
