Martin - first off, anyone has the right to complain especially when its presented in a salient way. I recognize this is not the most important thing for everyone, and Canonical certainly has no obligation whatsoever to make a particular piece of hardware work. Nevertheless, this continued fa

I second the motion! It is an epic failure on the part of ALSA, Canonical, Creative and the others (who all point fingers at each other as the responsible party for this situation.) This almost turned me off Linux completely. For the 2nd time. I never would have thought I'd need to use WINDOWS

Ubuntu's inability to support the Soundblaster X-Fi soundcards properly is perhaps one of the most egregious failings of the OS. Think about it - the people who actually care enough about their PC sound experience to buy a top-of-the-line card are the ones who are hosed! People with integrated MB
