Has anyone gotten the M-Audio Transit USB sound card to work under SuSE 9.1?
<snip> I haven't an answer for you, but am interested in these cards. They have a nice one that does 6-7 speaker surrounds sound for very little money. But when I enquire at various places about using this card w/ linux all I ever get for answers is "it won't work w/ linux period!" ( the emphatic ending seems to be required these days when you ask anyone why their hardware doesn't support linux or even when you just enquire w/ the understanding that if it works you are interested in buying!
I expect they really don't like to have to actually do tech support for their Windows customers and somehow believe that Linux users would only make more work for them...
Same thing lately w/ the newer Turtle Beach cards.If anyone can point me at a community developer who is doing support for the new cards ( not using aureal chipsets any more. Since that chip company is now owned by the Creative people <sigh>) I'd appreciate it.. or if anyone comes up w/ a group writing drivers for the m-audio cards..
I use a USB sound device without any major problems. It is a SoundBlaster Blaster MP3+. I don't even config anything in Yast, just plug it in and have audio. The only thing I found was if you use a USB hub make sure it is a powered hub. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989 SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please*
