Hi Marc,<br>I would imagine that it might be easier to get your motherboard audio working than to find support for the USB device. What is the audio chipset on your motherboard and kernel/alsa version? When I bought my motherboard, I found that the audio chip wasn't supported directly in alsa. However, I went to the ALSA-devel mailing list and asked about what needed to happen to support it. I think I may have tested a patch to confirm that the code worked, but they put support for the chipset in the next release of ALSA.<br>

I am looking for a way to get really cheap 5.1-channel audio<br>
under Linux. My system is actually capable of 7.1-channel audio<br>
with hardware built-into the motherboard, but I can only get<br>
the one (primary) stereo connector to work under Linux.<br>
<br>
Anyway, I found this:<br>

<br>
(not a spam, I have absolutely no connection with supermediastore)<br>
<br>
I was wondering if all channels would work with Linux.<br>
