It was just speculation on an ubuntu forum. It hard to find any reliable information. It might work with the hda-intel patch_ca0110 driver is all the info I got. Looking in /usr/share/alsa/cards/HDA-Intel.conf if found the line # default with dmix+softvol & dsnoop I assume that means all hda-intel based card use softvol so they are not interesting anyway in that case. > The chip on the Aureon 7.1 PCIe should be supported since kernel 3.18 > (which is _very_ new). Looking closer on that Aureon 7.1 PCIe it turned out to use the same plug for mic and line-in. That would be inconvenient. All the Xonar DX/DSX/DGX got the same problem. > The Xonar D2X has digital inputs, but is overpriced. Looks like it got all the inputs I want. Mic, line-in and optical in. Is the linux support stable? Do all the inputs work in linux? Does it have hardware volume control, hardware loopback for line-in and hardware volume for line-in and mic? It's pricey at $156 USD but if it got all the support I need it could be worth it. The alsa wiki claims "Xonar XD/XDG" doesn't have hardware volume support. Is that a typo or is there a Xonar XD card? If I scrap the optical digital in requirement the best I can find seems to be a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy RX 7.1 PCIe (SB1550). It should use the snd_emu10k1 driver just like my old sound blaster live so hopefully it should fulfill all my requirements. It doesn't have optical in but neither did my SD live. Are there any obvious problems with this card? It's only $85 so it seems like my best option. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
