[LAU] Audigy too

Y-ellow Lady and Gentlemen. OK, it's been a long time in coming but I have an audigy 2. So basically... How do you get it to actually work? I've tried lots of distros and to be honest, all of them have problems. So whilst one of them might actually be better than what I'm using, I have no idea how to tell. Currently the only thing I found where most things actually worked is TangoStudio. Though to be honest, I hate gnome. And Ubuntu for that matter. But the networking works. Most of the audio works. Although trying to install the linux sampler project failed miserably. And to be honest, after 3 months of mind numbing research, I'm sick of it all. That said. I've got this Audigy 2. Jack can see the synth's MIDI input but apart from that, nothing else. There appears to be no control over any of it's audio and no software to drive the synth. I did a search but that only left me wondering if it's usability under linux was in fact a myth. So before I go any further, I thought I'd poke my head in here and see what the collective wisdom was. I'm happy to install any other distro if there's one that comes with Audigy stuff already installed but I don't want to go play distro roulette again if I can possible help it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
