Re: [microsound] [gear] Sound card for Linux
hey phil,
i've been messing about with demudi on my tower that has the m-audio
2496 - seems fine so far, thought i have not run any midi sync tests
with outboard gear, but i can't see there being any prob.
i'll let u know how i get on. perhaps switch off all the networking and
build the system mod by mod?
cheers

Can any of the Linux heads on the list recommend a PC sound card that
will work well with Linux? I put Gentoo on my PC recently, but I'm
being prevented from doing anything useful with it because of IRQ
conflicts with the sound card which I'm having trouble resolving (if
anyone knows anything about this, I'd appreciate any info). I'm using
an ens1370 (Ensoniq AudioPCI ES1370), but Gentoo doesn't seem to want
to play with it. AGNULA's DeMuDi would freeze instantly when I tried
to anything with sound. Xandros seemed to work fine with the sound
card, but I got turned off from Debian's apt when it automagically
wiped out KDE when I tried to install one tiny little graphics library.
I am so frustrated and tired of dealing with Linux hardware issues
with every single distro I try, that I am willing to buy hardware that
will just work in Linux without hours of tweaking and twiddling and
frustration on my part. If anyone has advice for ideal Linux sound
cards (and network cards too, as my Dlink DFE-530TX has caused some
issues on occasion), I'd appreciate it. Reply offlist if you want.
Also, does anyone have experience with the CCRMA distro? Is it worth
it? My ideal is to get Gentoo working for audio, and use that, as I
love their package management system and some of their other features,
but I could be talked into using CCRMA if there were definite audio
advantages in that department.
