Windows isn't giving you good sound, Creative is with drivers. Tell Creative you are a customer and you want them to support Linux, or vote with your wallet for a company who already does. The problem is that as soon as users abandon Linux because of poor driver support, they tell the companies that they don't need to be supporting Linux! It says, "I'd like for you to have Linux drivers, but I'll still buy it if it doesn't and will use a different OS if need be". Imagine you are in the companies position; it doesn't sound very profitable or useful to support Linux, does it? I definitely understand the strong desire to have support here, but I think a lot of the anger (and there definitely is unnecessary anger in some of the comments here) is directed at the wrong place. Canonical is providing a free product and doing a pretty impressive job of reverse-engineering support for companies who ignore them, but they can only go so far. Creative is the company that is taking your money and not living up to your expectations, not Ubuntu, IMO. For the people mentioning accessibility, is it just that you need sound, say for the blind or vision-impaired? Can't a cheap PCI or USB sound card solve the issue in a usable way? Sorry if my ignorance in this area is causing me to miss something; I am just trying to understand the issues, so please let me know. -- Creative labs X-Fi sound card unsupported https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/63352 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
