Glad I stumbled upon Ubuntu Studio. I've been through a terrible time trying to get sound working with Linux Mint and Ubuntu 8.04. Unfortunately, my Creative SB X-Fi card doesn't support Linux. I've decided to replace the sound card, and am hoping someone on this list can make a recommendation.
I plan to install Ubuntu Studio when I get time this weekend, and work from that distribution. I write and arrange music (currently using Sibelius on WinXP), and edit digital photography with Photoshop CS. Looking forward to the linux environment. I need the card to work with both Ubuntu and WinXP Media Center Edition, with these general requirements: - 5.1 speaker capability - front mic/line input - front headphone output - front MIDI ports desirable (I have an adapter that works through USB in Windows) - 100 Hz S/N - 20-20kHz freq range - decent onboard synth Thanks! Details: - Dell XPS 400 w/Intel Pentium D 2.80 GHz chip - 4GB RAM - 2 HDD (sda 160 GB, Windows; dual boot with sdb 500 GB, Linux) - EVGA GeForce 8800 GT video card -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
