Why is so many problems with soundcard in linux in general ? Its sure time for overcome such issue ! Linux is useles it is not fully hardware supported due to missconfig driver, missing driver and stupid driver policy in linux ! Whenever i look on internet i see to many problems with linux and recepi on howtos for things that are for sure supported but not working as should ! So why is that ! With win you are still better of ! At least no messing arround with driver !
