Does someone know if there is sound support for Sound Blaster Audigys anywhere for linux yet? Or when there will be support? Cuz this really sucks because I don't have sound in Linux...gotta use Windows

The Audigy card uses the same driver as the live card which uses the emu10k1 module.

The Audigy is probably the best supported sound card in linux. I'd hardly describe it as, "ghey."

The kernel driver support should be quite good. Assuming you're using a 2.4.x kernel.

You may want to investigate the Sourceforge.net Audigy drivers. Since a new driver revision was just released. http://sourceforge.net/projects/emu10k1

try a differnet distrobution. i think each distrobution has different driver support. redhat, mandrake, caldera, lycoris have pretty good support. those are the ones i've tried.

Yeah, I have red hat now but I was thinking about trying Lycoris.
In no way did I mean the Audigy was "ghey"...just referring to my situation because I'm new to linux stuff.
Thanks for the url's though..should get it workin shortly.
