Not all sound cards are supported, and it makes sense to go with one that is. Sometimes, if the vendor has closed-source code or does not adequately release specifications, it is very difficult to both construct and maintain the driver. For instance, my Creative SoundBlaster X-fi pc card used to deliver good sound but now does not. (It uses a different driver than your Creative product.)
This page is a useful reference. For instance, it simply says that my X-fi card does not work. Well, that's wrong. It did work pretty well and now works poorly. http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/755867 Title: Sound cutting in and out -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
