Comment on Fuck Microsoft
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 11 hours agoSo I reached the wrong conclusion, but you did a lot of research and found no one who made a sound card that can reliably work on Linux except one overpriced company.
This is what you yourself reiterated. Not sure where the disconnect is.
My onboard sound works fine. Purchased the hardware years before deciding to even try Linux. You are trying to make one specific scenario out to be the norm but it’s clearly not.

In my initial comment, I state that my situation isn’t typical, and that I’m outside the bubble of typical hardware and use case. I state why I use two sound cards. I state what is wrong with the drivers, my attempts to resolve it, my search for alternative hardware, and why falling back to a more basic setup in unacceptable.
I’m not ‘making a specific scenario’, this is my main machine I use daily. You are literally proving my point, about the ‘bubble’ of users that use basic hardware and think everything is fine, but those who use things that aren’t common hit snags and issues. And then you want to blame me for using hardware that I’ve used for years? Are you actually kidding me?

I am blaming you for claiming one literally cannot find sound hardware that works on Linux. It is a false statement. You can say whatever you want about “support” and pretend that is a standard to measure by but the actual truth you intend to obscure is that for nearly any sound hardware, it will work without any effort or attention paid whatsoever. It doesn’t matter in the least what companies claim to support Linux. 99% chance it works fine for any given random hardware.

‘I cannot find an add-on sound card that claims compatability with Linux at a reasonable cost’ != ‘everyone with a Linux machine doesn’t have sound’.
Find me a pci sound card that can handle 5.1 channel audio over 3.5mm. I spent a couple hours several weeks ago and came up empty (excluding the aforementioned card for creators).

That’s demonstrating a fundamental misunderstanding of how support works on Linux. You won’t find many pieces of hardware that claim support and yet nearly all of it works with the OS, usually with little to zero effort. I can’t be sure if you know this and pretend not to, or somehow missed it, but that’s how it works.
