Audigy 2 And Linux


Recommended Posts

Any one know of a distro or place that works as i have tried Mandrake 9 and it doesn't support it

it's a Plain Audigy 2 no breakout box and the only module that i have found only seems to work with the breakout box headphone port

Thx

any sblive, audigy, or audigy2 work fine... you just need to make sure the emu10k1 support is enabled in your kernel... either built-in or as a module.

EDIT: well, almost any will work... some proprietary versions from ppl like hp or dell might not... but they are extremely rare.

I'd actually recommend the Creative drivers if he's using 2.4.xx and the internal kernel module if he's using 2.6.xx. The Creative drivers are at opensource.creative.com

Just with my Fedora Core 1 experience, I had trouble setting up my Audigy 2 because I didn't disable my intergrated sound system (AC '97). But after I disabled the intergrated sound through the bios, my Audigy 2 worked without any trouble.

yeah, using fedora core 1 with alsa makes my audigy2 sound amazing! surprisingly even better than in windows cuz there's full surround sound support.

course, it takes a bit of work to get alsa workin.
