Recommended sound card for Oracle Redhat Linux 64 bit?

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to install the latest Oracle Redhat 5.
64 bit. On a certified Asus motherboard.
It will be a dual boot windows/Linux machine.
And I'm having an awful time with the sound card for my new server.
(It will be used for learning, at home. It's important to
have sound for some instructional videos that I will also watch.)
Other installs, sound has installed and worked fine.
I believe it's partially because the sound came directly off
the motherboard in those cases.
But with this new server, it came with a sound card, no onboard.
The sound card works with windows. But not with Linux.
I've been swapping three sound cards in and out, trying to get
one to work. Each has some partial success, but none meet all
of the requirements (below).
What is really frustrating is that I want the sound to go
to the green headphone jack on the front of the computer case.
To do this, there is a cable that connects the sound card, to
the front of the chassis.
The existing sound card that I have, has a connector for this.
It is an "HD audio", or an AC 97 connector. There two rows of
five pins, with one pin blocked up, so that the connector is
inserted in the correct manner. The cord is hard wired to the case.
You can see some images of the pins and the cords here:

You would figure that whether the connector existed or not would be a standard
feature that would be listed for sound cards. But it's rare to find it listed anywhere.
When I went to the computer store, I had to open all the boxes to see if it
was there or not!!!! Manufacturers, this is not that difficult!!
At this point, after a couple of days of struggle, I just want to buy a
simple sound card that works right out of the box.
Here are the requirements:
- gets instantly recognized by Linux (Oracle Redhat 5) 64 bit, and plays sound
with the standard Linux drivers. I believe I have all of the drivers installed,
because a few cards do play with them automatically. During installation, I
installed Every package available.
- no installation of special Linux drivers required.
- the other big requirment is that the card have output to an HD Audio,
or AC 97 connector, and will play music through the headphone jack.
(Believe it or not, I have one card that works fine out the back,
but won't work through the HD Audio. But it works fine in Windows)
- will also work with Windows 64 bit.
Does anyone have any good sound card recommendations that will meet all these requirements?
Thanks a lot!

Almost a year later... what have you been listening too? :-)
I have to admit that I'm not an expert for "sound" under Linux. I think you may find http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page interesting. It also shows which sound cards are compatible.
ALSA is pretty much standard under Linux and stands for Advanced Linux Sound Architecture. Together with pulse-audio it provides audio and MIDI functionality to the Linux operating system and is, by default, also included in RHEL and other descendants. You can install pulseaudio support using the EPEL repository following the instructions at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
wget rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
yum list alsa* pulseaudio*
Loaded plugins: downloadonly, rhnplugin, security
This system is not registered with ULN.
ULN support will be disabled.

Can someone recommend me a good creative sound card for listening to music

Hi all,
I am thinking to buy a Creative sound card for my new PC.
I have browsed the Creative web site but found out that there are just too many options for me to choose from, like X-FI, e-MuRecon3D Fatal1ty Champion, Recon3D PCIe, E-MU 1212M PCIe.
I have no idea which one is the best for me since I like listening to music.
Please give me some advice.
Thanks
Kitty.

It's ultimately going to depend on how particular you are, and what output you're going to be using.
Arguably the X-Fi Titanium HD will give the clearest output of the whole lot. A measurable 122dB SNR means you'll basically have to turn it up to the threshold of pain before you'll hear any noise produced by the card itself. That doesn't mean there won't be any noise at all in the output - just that the card realistically won't add any that didn't already exist in the source material. Further to this, when run in Entertainment mode you'll also have access to the THX enhancements over the standard Creative ones, which I personally find to be substantially better in actual listening. The EMI shield and changeable op-amps are just gravy.
Of course, there's always fine print. The 122dB SNR only applies to the front outputs, for example. That's not to say the rest aren't very good - they're rated at between 115dB and 118dB - just that they aren't as good. Odds are you won't really care but its still worth mentioning. The other major limitation (in my opinion) is the absence of a good headphone pre-amplifier, but that may or may not be a non-issue depending on whether you use headphones or already have an external one (or, like me, you feel inclined to make your own to solve that limitation).
The other good option would be the Recon3D. I wouldn't bother going with any of the upper market ones for music (or for any reason, for that matter) unless the front drive bay or directional microphone are of any particular importance to you (NB I bought the Fatal1ty Champion edition - still not entirely sure why). An argument could be made for the EMI shield, but with so few components on the board it probably isn't stopping a whole heap of noise anyway over the miniature "shield" on the SPU itself. When compared in raw specs to the Titanium HD, at a glance it would appear to be vastly inferior - 102dB SNR ratio (albeit constant across all outputs) is quite a bit lower, after all.
However, it's important to keep in mind exactly what that means. 102dB SNR still means you'll have to turn the volume up quite a bit to get any extra noise added to your output. You're talking around the volume of a power saw at a little over 3 feet, so realistically it's quite loud - and it's over the level which is generally considered to cause hearing loss with sustained exposure (95dB). You also have to remember that this doesn't apply to the S/PDIF outputs (nor does the HD's 122dB) since they're entirely at the mercy of whatever decoder you're using, so if you're using that output than the extra expense of the HD is pretty much entirely wasted. And, as a major plus, all Recon3D cards have what seems to be a pretty decent headphone pre-amp, which makes a very appreciable difference in listening, as well as supporting the various THX enhancements.
The short version:
- If you're listening mostly via stereo analogue speakers, get the Titanium HD.
- If you're listening mostly via headphones, get the Recon3D (I personally think the pre-amp is better than the higher SNR).
- If you're listening mostly via S/PDIF to an external amp, it doesn't matter (but get the Recon3D because it's cheaper).

Please recommend a sound card for TV hoo

I want to connect left & right channel outputs to a TV and have my desktop audio standard setup. Can anyone recommend a card for me?

Well if I understand you correctly you want to be able to hear your TV through your computer speakers...
if so: Soundblaster Li've 5. or Soundblaster 24bit (which I think is being replaced by Audigy SE for the same great price).
These 2 cards worked perfectly for me as far as doing something simple as that. Other than those anything with at least a LINE IN function should do the job nicely if your under a budget.
IF YOU WISH TO HEAR YOUR COMPUTER THROUGH YOUR TV SPEAKERS. (Which I think is kinda unusual but hey its possible.)
Then really any soundcard will work just fine IMO. You just need to have a LINE IN/AUX (with stereo) capability built on your TV. They are usually RCA plugs that are red and white. The only accessorie that you would need to buy is a
MALE stereo headphone jack and 2 female stereo RCA Plugs known as a Y connector (it is now commonly seen as a IPOD accessorie one end plugs in the headphone inputs and the other goes on the AUX of a stereo). From my experience the 7-0 dollar version works just as good as the 20 dollar version that you might find.Message Edited by djbonus on 05-8-2006 0:22 PM

Sound Card for Notebook that supports

Hi?I have read that certain sound cards (including Audigy 2) that support 5. and also 7. surround sound don't actually support 2. users such as myself. I need a sound card for a newly purchased notebook and would welcome advice in this area ie: what's the best soundcard to get (external or pcmia) that will support good old fashioned 2. stereo?Many thanks in advance?Sparky2

If the PCMCIA type in your laptop is type of ExpresCard then there are no PCMCIA solutions available yet. Also there are not many PCMCIA solutions available at all. If plain analog stereo output is enough for you then I suggest you to look these:
- E-MU 02, ECHO Indigo DJ and IO. These are all under $US200.
As USB, from Creative, the E-MU 0202 USB and 0404 USB are superior devices compared to other Creatives (SoundBlaster) USB models . There also are plenty of USB devices available under many brands. Just check this theread to see some of those.
FireWire devices are a bit more expensi've but if you plan to invest lets say $US300 - $US500 then ... Those low budged ($US00) FireWire devices are not very high quality by the converrters.

Sound card for vista

I was wondering what's a top/high end Sound card for my vista 64 ultimate?
I need it for gaming, also for music/video/entertainment.
Thank You

I'm also in the market for a sound card to use in a computer with 64 bit Vista. Specs for computer are as follows:
Vista Ultimate 64
BadAxe 2 mobo (Intel D975XBX2)
QX6700 CPU
4GB Ballistix PC-2 8500 (4 x GB)
XFX 8800GTX
Lite-On SATA DVD
Will the X-Fi Platinum Fatalty Champion Series work CORRECTLY in the above computer?
I've read nothing but negati've remarks about the X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatalty Professional Series when used with Vista 64 so I won't buy that one. (I have used that card in a computer with 32 bit Vista Ultimate and it worked OK. Not trouble free by any means but I did manage to get it working.)
I have an Audigy 2 ZS card that I could use (don't want to use something so old though....) if it will work with 64 bit Vista. Any comments about that combo?

Sound card for logic

hey guys, I want to get a sound card for my macbook pro.. preferably as cheap as possible because the only thing I want to hook up is my alesis 3630 compressor (what cables will I need?)..
Im new to hardware, so any information is appreciated!
Cheers,
James

k,
sorry i meant audio card**.. I have a macbook pro 15inch, purchased new 3 months ago.. I want a sound card that is mac compatible.. I'm currently thinking about the Focusrite Saffire LE Firewire Audio Interface.. however its $500 AUD.. I'm only using the sound card to hook up monitors and my alesis compressor, so the Focusrite doesn't seem to be the smartest option..
so my question is, what sound card would you recommend for my mac, preferably Firewire but USB should be fine! and once I have that, is it easy for the mac to recognise the hardware compressor in logic?
Cheers guys,
James

Sound Card for Disk Jock

On my PC i had a creative sound blaster audigy. it had 4 great traits:
1. inexpensive ~$200
2. great sound configuration options
3. RCA in and out
4. 24bit sound
What is a good sound card for my imac? i would like it to have the above traits.
any help is appreciated

When I was shopping about 6 months ago, here was my short list.
They're all nice boxes, so I won't try to sway your opinion by telling
you which one I bought. Anyhow, I use it for recording, not D-J.
There are also some nice firewire boxes out there, but I limited my
search to USB. I didn't want the audio interface and external HDD
interfering with one another while recording. Also, I occasionally
need to use it with a (USB-only) Windoze machine.
I believe the E-Mu unit has the best tech specs, i.e., best S/N ratio.
BTW, E-Mu is Creative's professional product line.
M-Audio has some nice features (audio inserts, if you need 'em).
OTOH, it's USB 1.1, so the number of simultaneous I/O channels
is rather limited when using 24-bit audio at high sampling rates.
Edirol (Roland) is probably the most rugged/bulletproof (but it's
probably a little above your $200 target). Check Amazon.com.
[E-Mu (Creative) 0404 USB|http://www.emu.com/products/product.asp?category=610&subcategory=611&produc t=15185]

[Edirol (Roland) UA-25|http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.aspx?ObjectId=704&ParentI d=114]
None of them have RCA connectors for all inputs/outputs -- but that's easy to
fix with a few RCA-to-1/4" (mono) phone plug adapters from RadioShack.
...rock on!

How to connect my iphone 4s to a USB sound card for 5.1 speakers?

How to connect my iphone 4s to a USB sound card for 5.1 speakers?

You can't:
1. iPhone sound output is stereo, not Dolby 5.1 compatible.
2. iPhones do not connect sound output by standard USB. The connecting device has to be iPhone compatible.

To the best of my knowledge, Windows is not capable of setting a specific sound card based on the app being used, it's all or nothing.
Try a google search or search the Microsoft site.

Suggest me a usb sound card for mac mini

please suggest me a usb sound card for mac mini (i need 5.1 sound)

The Griffin Technology FireWave will give you the 3 'cables' ("FireWave outputs six channel audio through three 1/8” (3.5mm) stereo mini-jacks: Left/Right, Center/Subwoofer and Right Surround/Left Surround.") connection for surround sound (speakers) audio. Whether or not a particular headphone set is compatible, you might ask Griffin directly about that. If you're playing a DVD with VLC or the Apple DVD Player, you will get surround sound. But, you'd have to find an MP3 with multi-channel audio inside it to play surround sound out of iTunes.

Preferably you would use a n AGP based graphics card as your radeon 9600 is. The PCI-x slots have lower bandwidth and would be slower.
Possible Upgrades
Radeon 9800pro
Radeon 9800XT
Radeon X800XT
Radeon X850XT
nVidia 6800GS/GT
nVidia 7800
All of which are in demand and short supply at present due to the new RoHS recycling requirements.
