Quite frequently it will not overclock because driver timing is already tight on the specs instead of loose and sloppy like other OSes.
The Audigy is supported barely by emu10k driver module and mostly in non-digital mode. At the present time it is mainly a Winsound card. This is typical for a lot of new hardware. The manufacturer issues it with windrivers which will work on some versions of windows and _maybe_ a binary-only linux driver which will work on _one_ kernel compilation. After a source wrapper is prepared, then it can possibly be compiled for other kernels. Understand that the windows kernel changed between 95 and 98 not by a single byte! Anyway, with a lot of playing around, many people are hearing sound from the Audigy. Study the recent archives of this list and you can find examples. Naturally the next release due out in a couple of months will handle the Audigy better. It was actually released to the market about the same time as the 8.2 release. Civileme
