My machine came with the ac97 audio chipset onboard. The ac97 worked well enough in Windows, but under Linux, I had timing problems that made festival and other synths sound like they were on speed. I know there are workarounds to this but i decided that the best thing would be to use a higher end card that didn't experience these issues. Therefore, I installed an SB live. The soundblaster works perfectly under Linux but not so well under Windows. I use jaws and am experiencing the crackling speech with eloquence problem as documented in the FS knowledge base. I have tried the workarounds suggested by fs, and neither of them are perfect. In short, I am looking for a card that is supported and works well out of the box with both operating systems without the need to install any third party drivers and/ or patches. If anyone knows of such a beasty, I would be much obliged for the information. thanks,
