Re: Sound blaster Audigy 7.1 SE dosent work
This might help you or might not.. I hope it does.. Unfortunately sound drivers seem to be a sad story. I have Sound Blaster Live 24bit and neither the mic nor the the line out function..
I strongly believe that we sould do something.. We can't have compartements like the sound card functioning impropely.. Why are we forced to use windows??Comment

There's always learning C and writing your own driver.For external use only.Comment

Re: Sound blaster Audigy 7.1 SE dosent work
Consumer Organizations aren't capable of helping us?? That would be a huge step but to me it seems the most possible way. Together with a movement from the web to express to the people that companies should not promote windows.. In a free market we should have the freedom to choose our operating system. Without facing problems from the hardware companies..
P.S. I know of C but it doesn't seem to me so easy writting down drivers..Comment

Re: Sound blaster Audigy 7.1 SE dosent work
I suppose you could bug the manufacturer about releasing Linux drivers, if only to let them know that it's wanted.For external use only.Comment
