I just built a frontend and I used this card. Full 5.1, passthrough AC3, works great with my DVDs, ISOs, and regular playback. Easy to set up with ALSA. Bonus for me was that it included optical SPDIF outputs which many cards did not.Hi
My MythTV box for some reason the sound card (integrated ATI IXP, which has been nothing but trouble) stopped working today. Not having time to return the mobo for a repair, I decided that I need a new audio card.
The first card I looked at was the Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit. Then I heard that it was seriously crappy under Linux, and that it doesn't have a hardware mixer.
The second card I've looked at is the Creative SB Audigy 2 Value. Is that card any good? Is it even supported under Linux? I only found the SB Audigy 2 ZS value in the ALSA database. Is this the same card as that one?`
Any other recommendations are welcome, but keep the pricetag under $50 or so.

I got the recommendation from someone else here on the list and it was good as gold.
