I know, another one, but I have specific things I'd like to find out from actual owners of the cards...
I currently have a Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro (minus the ext. box that it should have) for sound. It is working great for sound under linux, and for gaming under Windows. The one thing I am looking for now, is a working AUX port (for sound from TV Card), which unfortunately (and I've tried everything) is not working under linux with the current Audigy. I am looking into replacing this card, but there are a few things I want:
Working AUX port under Linux/ALSA
Works with WinXP 64bit (or if not, at least Vista 64)
Has hardware tone control (bass/treble - my speakers do not have this)
Can control volume levels of the Front/Center-LFE/Rear speaker groups
Speakers are 5.1 Analog mini-plug (Front/Center-LFE/Rear)
So, a few options I've considered (and my question regarding it):
ASUS Xonar DX - Does it have hardware tone control like under KMIX-Alsamixer and working AUX port?
Audigy 2 ZS ___ (Used from ebay) - Do other Audigy 2 ZSs have working AUX port?
Any other suggestions that do what I want...
I've always liked Creative (had an SB Live 5.1 for the longest time) because under KMix/Alsamixer I can control the speaker levels and bass/treble, but I hate what they have done (Daniel_K). I'd also rather not spend $100 for the Xonar, but rather $40 for a used Audigy 2 or other, if it meets my wants above. If the Xonar is really that good, then ok.
Thanks!
