120044 2003-02-10 09:22:00 I'm planning to purchase a [url=http://www.dse.co.nz/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/en/product/XH7847%0A]Sound Card based on the CMI-8738 chipset tomorrow.

Any comments on the Chipset or the card would be greatly appreciated, (and some comments on its performance under Linux would be excellent).


Cheers

Liam

120045 2003-02-10 10:11:00 The 8738 is slightly better.

But if you want good sound something like a Hercules Game Theatre XP or a Philips Aucoustic Edge is what you're after.

The Hercules Fortissimo III isn't too bad for a budget(ish) card.

Only problem is Philips haven't realeased the windows driver code to the linux community...... yet.
