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.
Afaik all modern Creative cards either dont work on Linux at all, or have huge troubles.
Alternative solution - Asus Xonar DSX/DGX, but they are out of production for a few years already so you will probably need to hunt used ones on Ebay
Another alternative solution - PCIe to PCI adapters, something like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001221239895.html
