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.

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

The Asus Xonar DSX/DGX is, according to Asus, still in production and I was considering it.
As for the adapter. You are a bloody genius. Thanks. I'll check into this right now.
Thanks Nick,
Kate

buy good quality one - it will pay off with time

Agreed, deloptes the wise,
0_o
that's what I'm going to do. Targeting emu10k2 cards (see below).
However the adapter pci-e to pci adapter (Nick suggested) is useful in another experiment.
As for the card, I'm buying this one Creative Sound Blaster Audigy FX PCIe 5.1 https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Blaster-Audigy-Performance-Headphone/dp/B00E...
I'll make me own connection breakout box. According to user reviews, it's linux compatible. It uses the emu10k2 driver so for $43 US, I'll give it a go.
If anyone finds any definitive problems with this card, please let me know.
Thanks to everyone for all the input. I feel better giving the above card a go.
I'll report back, in detail, my results.
Maybe we should start a dbase of all our hardware, what works, worked and didn't. It could be helpful to others.
Thanks again to all,
Kate The Great and Terrible (and Annoying)
