Hi, First of all, I'm actually a Linux/Ubuntu user *avoids thrown squidgy fruit* but I have a CA0106 SB Audigy LS and have had no end of trouble with it - working presently, though. I could not get it to work with standard emu10k1 drivers, but to some extent using ALSA. It tended to have buffer issues - to get smooth sound out of xmms I had to use the custom options within xmms to set very high buffers on the output. I invite you to look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=3D19307 I'm aware that the L in ALSA stands for linux, and that this method uses apt-get then dpkg to compile then install as a .deb package, but I can testify that this is the only way I have ever seen that has given me seamless sound (currently using eSound daemon) completely OS-wide. Good luck & regards, Thomas K
