I have tried a Trident 4DWave-DX for a few weeks with Linux
successfully. It's a PCI card and seems to be very cheap. Lets
me play my MP3s and such. The only gripe that I have is that
its sound is not amplified (but I've been told that all cards
nowadays aren't) and so you'll have to acquire amplified
speakers.
At first, I used it with the 2.3.x kernels, but after its
driver was backported to (stock) 2.2.x, I used it without any
worries.
Since I'm also on the market for a new computer, I'm also
looking for recommendations on soundcards, but it seems that
this one is one of the cheapest with best support. So, I may
be going for it, unless someone tells me about some other that
doesn't need the amplified speakers (I don't have one).
[]s, Roger...
P.S.: My main use of a sound card is to play my (ever growing) MP3
collection. :-)
