Ok humans, AIs and others... I hope this email finds you and yours healthy and safe. I never everyone's input here. Ok, every 20 years (yes that's right), I rebuild my primary computer. It's now time. I have all the pieces collect save for 1. I need to replace my fully linux supported Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum PCIx with a PCIe card. I'm currently looking at this one, Creative SoundBlaster AE-7. However I can't find any definitive info stating it's linux supported. I'm using Kernel 4.19.124-pclos1 because of it's excellent stability. Until the human unit, designated as "Alistair Izzard" (who's judgment I've come to trust well) rolls out a new ISO, I'll stick with this kernel. Can anyone find any info on it or suggest a similar but fully supported card? All input is welcome. Thanks in advance. Begin processing... Cheers, Kate PS, I'm so going to binge watch the marvel movies now.

Startup sound not playing all the time

by Edward

I've noticed when the systems boot up, the startup sound is not playing all of the time, but the sound at logoff plays all the time. Is there a setting that will perhaps fix this? I looked at TCC/Sound & Multimedia/Sound System, but wasn't sure if any of those settings would correct it. Also, after I installed the OS on my other system, in order for the system sounds to play at all, I had to go to the same selection, choose Hardware, change the Audio Device from Autodetect to ALSA, save it, then change it back to Autodetect. Should this setting specifically be on ALSA? Thank you in advance.

squawk about kmail fwding an email

by Gene Heskett

Greetings all; I don't often fwd a message by any kmail method, but with the recent election and the demonrat hijinks that gave it to Joe, I wanted to fwd a message from the local libertarian mailing list to another friend. But SA has been putting this is spam headers on those messages and I found that kmail, when it fwd's a msg so labeled, forwards only the sa header, not the whole maryann as I intended. The msg itself is not forwarded. Can this bug be addressed? Or do I have something in my config fubared?
