I don't buy this opinion! Measurements published in sound card tests show a pretty good sound quality. But apart from that: The sound quality in Linux has NOTHING to do with the capabilities of the card (as it has no problems under Windwos): - Sound quality of the card: good (or fair or whatever you like) - Sound quality under Linux: very very very very bad. > Actually I got a Hercules GameTheater XP 6.1, when volume is over about > a ~80% the output is sometimes distorcionated, but I believe that's > something we cant do anything about in the driver.

Alas - my GameTheater XP 7.1 is not (except digital output). So if this problem is a known issue, sholdn't there be a hint in the Alsa Sound Card Matrix. I don't blame anybody (except perhaps CS), but I think others should be warned on possible problems.
