[linux-audio-user] Using Audigy 2 in Linux

[Luke Yelavich]

Hi Carl
 From checking the ALSA card matrix at 
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/, it seems that only the original 
Audigy is supported at the moment, and even that is not completely 
supported. I believe Mandrake have got the audigy to work a little better 
in 9.0, but I don't think there is any audigy 2 support yet.

I feel your pain. It is a good card, but from what I have heard, Creative 
ditched their open source effort awhile ago.
