I also have the Recon3D card with CA0132. I'm running linux mint 16 from a clean install. Sound will work on every other boot with the "sound fix=1" added. This also applies to windows 7. I use the program Pithos( a web client based player) for Pandora to record audio off the player through a program called Audio Recorder. I set the recorder to record audio from stereo out. I set the recorder to start recording when it sensed audio from Stereo out. It did record audio even when the nothing was being outputed from the speakers. I rebooted the system and checked the file it had recorded and it played perfectly like the speakers were working. I also noticed in mt Dmesg file in /var/log that sometimes it said that ca0132 didn't load or never even said anything about this card. Next boot "Dsp CA0132 loaded". Hope this helps in some way.
