A lot of attention has been paid to the coders that are working hard to ensure the latest and greatest GPUs are supported by Linux, especially when it comes to high definition playback.  That is not the only area that is being improved, support for higher end audio cards is also a focus for programmers.  The ASUS Xonar series is a popular solution right now so TECHGAGE tried it out on Jaunty Jackalope to see how it worked.  If that sounds interesting to you then just follow the link for some good news.

“Crave high-end audio, but use Linux? The situation surrounding this has been bad in the past, but that’s not so much the case now, especially where ASUS’ Xonar family of cards are concerned, including the headphone-specific Essence STX. Thanks to dedicated developers, the support today is just about as good as the audio quality.”
