I purchased a motherboard that has a creative solution on it hoping it would work with Linux. Well... It was the wrong choice obviously.
I love the board and it's layout so I am going to keep it but I am looking to purchase a sound card for it now.
To my knowledge
ASUS Xonar Essence STX
and
HT | OMEGA eClaro
both use the same sound chip and both are compatible with Linux in general. At $150 the eClaro is obviously the better buy from my point of view. Is there any reason to get the Asus STX instead? Is it worth the extra $30 for that card or would I just be paying for the Asus name?
Any info and responses are appreciated.
