Be carefull with Xfi card based on chip CA0110-IBG is unsupported by most
Linux version; I have a bad experience with this card, like XFI Audio,
what I recomend is Mona cards those works excellent, using simply Alsa,
and have many outputs, but if you want a better sound, there's nothing as
Audios
On the topic of inexpensive cards with multiple outputs, this might show some
promise:

Playback only, but this is one I've got to look into.

I was pretty sure of that myself, but one soundcard I recently picked up - that
boasted the proper chipset - did not perform well at all. Tons of distortion,
stuttering and fla
Just to chip in, Rivendell will work fine with anything that produces
sound that will work under Linux. I had a test machine running with 2
random PCI sound blasters and its internal card working just fine.
If you're an audiophile you'll likely notice reduced quality of sound but

We recently picked up a few of these:

I haven't had a chance to test them with Rivednell and Linux yet, but
people say they work. Decent semi-pro sound card for not much more money
than an X-Fi. Hit me up again i
Rivendell works with just about anything that's on the Linux HCL. There
are a lot of cases where even things that use the same chips as
something that's on the HCL will work.
We needed digital audio outputs to our consoles and I found some $30 USB

Cool, thanks.
Does a card that old work well with Rivendell?

If you want a cheap but decent card get either a USB thing with balanced
outputs (Focusrite s2?) or go for an Asus Xonar, which at least has good DACs
and some shielding.
The X-Fi cards have, in my experience, too much crap. Lots of DSP you don't
want or need, and they're massively overpriced.
Hello group - Has anyone tried using the Creative X-Fi Titanium sound card in a
Rivendell system?
It's an $80 gaming card, and I don't know the chipset it uses so I'm not sure
of the soundcard "type" (as indicated on
http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/Sound_Cards_Known_to_work_with_Rivendell);
