What's the best sound card for 10.04?

[Vega]

Hey guys!

I just want to know from an out of the box no configuration experience what's the most compatible, hassle free sound card that you can purchase from newegg?

I'm building a new AMD type system w/ an 890GX chipset and this is the last component of my build that needs to be verified.

thanks

The Sounblaster Audigy 2 is a bit dated, but is still a good card and will work perfectly.

Hmm.. So if I were to put 64 bit 10.04 Ubuntu would have drivers for this Audigy?

For $34 it's not bad at all.

Yes.

Excellent

I appreciate it!

The built in sound chips on most of the 890GX mobos is better than the audigy.

Is that right?

Thanks for the tip.
