I have been reasonably happy with my SoundBlaster Awe64 Gold. It is
"backwards compatible" with older, well supported SoundBlaster cards.
This one is configured as a slightly older SoundBlaster, and I have
all I want; the only functionality I'm not using seems to be WaveTable
support, but who cares? While I too wanted a Turtle Beach card, I
could find no evidence of Linux support for any of them.
