I see there is an ATI video repository for Suse. I'll give it another shot. No problem with Nvidia drivers and 3D. Incidentally, Google Earth runs a bit better under linux than windows. There are a few features in the Linux version missing from the windows version, but I've gone too far off to

Oddly enough, my ATI card sets up much easier (and extremely stable) than my brother's Nvidia, and my sound has worked great since Ubuntu 7.10, on a HDA intel chip. I have full functionality with headphones, externals, mic, and all. I don't recommend my machine (a Gateway MT6451) per se, but it pre

I'm an ATI fan, but I have to agree Nvidia linux support is better. On Suse, they has their own repository set up. I gave up on HDA in favor of a C-media based XS71 soundcard. You can only spend so much time beating your head against the wall before $30 US sounds like a bargain.

The difficult thing about this is that its hard to know that you are getting an Intel HDA setup. I got a NVidia chipset and it ended up being a Intel HDA. Also watch out for VIA video cards, they are awful and have poor Linux support (yes they have drivers but its locked down to kernel and dist

I've got a Ubuntu 9.04 machine that I've stripped of Pulseaudio using a couple of guides I found on the web. Running everything with just Alsa seemed to work well for everything. But then I had the bright idea to enable the rest of the analog channels instead of just stereo. I feed all 8 cha

I often wonder has VIA came out of nowhere with a DSP audio chip (Envy24). Oversampled ADCs are not exactly rocket science, but to make one with a product history of previous chips is suspicious. If you really are concerned with fidelity, I'd look at the chip specs. The card performance can on
