I have installed Ubuntu on an EPIA LN10000EG. The sound card output is outrageously noisy, on the scope there's a waveform at about 2MHz which is much louder than the actual audio, but it's mostly filtered out by the subsequent hardware (audio amp) leaving a residual hiss. It sounds noisier than an ordinary soundblaster card. I'm using an M-audio Delta 1010 on the PCI slot, which works really well since the audio unit is a long way from the computer. The board also has an spdif output, which would naturally be noise-free.
