Working sound cards on Ubuntu 7.04 i386 (kernel: 2.6.20-16-lowlatency) by SunWukong (3):

I had set the BIOS to AC97 thinking it would be more compatible. But I had big trouble with the microphone. I thought back of that parameter and set it to “HD_Audio”. And now, it’s just fine.

Having only two ears (and two loudspeakers) I haven’t tested the 5.1 or 7.1 or 15.8 capabilities. Stereo is just great.

update december07
Finally, I followed some friend’s advice and installed a spare soundblaster live! I got. Of course, it works fine and sound is definitly much better, while cpu is released.

Working sound cards on Arch Linux Don't Panic GenuineIntel (kernel: 2.6.22-ARCH) by darksab0r (5):

Absolutely no problem, works just after alsa-config in Arch Linux.

Working sound cards on Debian lenny/sid x86_64 (kernel: 2.6.23-rc8-cfs-v22) by valderman (5):

Make sure to use the “HD Audio” setting in the BIOS setup for onboard audio, and NOT “AC97”, or you’ll get some funny results.

Working sound cards on Gentoo Gentoo Base System release 1.12.10 GenuineIntel (kernel: 2.6.23-gentoo-r8) by seraph (5):

Works with the vanilla Intel HDA driver in the kernel (drivers/sound/alsa/pci).

Working sound cards on Mandriva Linux 2008.0 i586 (kernel: 2.6.22.18-desktop-1mdv) by LouPapet (3):

no problème

Only the integrated sound chip works. And only stereo sound works so far.
