Yeah, that really does suck. I'm a bit surprised you're having trouble with modern audio chips. I've installed Linux on everything from 386s to dual Opteron servers and the only sound cards I've ever had trouble with were ISA cards that required PnP. You might want to try MSI motherboards. I'll have to pay more attention to which chips work so I can give more specific advice in the future. Now I think I'll join Jake and have a frosty one myself.
I couldn't build a box with what this has for the price I got it. Medion is all over Europe, which is why I'm so surprised it uses an Intel chipset that isn't supported by Linux (sound). No big deal, I thought, as may boxen as I've installed, but most were with the "old" 16-bit SB cards or Crystal Audio on the MOB......NO problems. NO so with new chipsets. The 'puter is VERY quick....all runs well except for no sound.

The pc I have only has 64bit/3.3volt pci slots. Talk about trying to find cards for it. I use a USB soundblaster that works quite well.
