my sound blaster zx is what's keeping me from using linux full time. its been out since 2012 and linux has zero support for it. my onboard audio is absolute garbage compared to it and i don't want to clutter my desk with more junk like an external dac.
what's a good alternative pci-express based card that provides the same level or better audio quality as my blaster zx but also has fantastic linux support?

>not building your own drivers
thanks for the weird boner btw
>>54246571
Just install Spybot Anti-Beacon and keep Windows.

It's not gay if you jack off to someone who looks like a girl, right?

Ubuntu 16.04 uses Linux 4.4 which seems to have a driver for it now, try again.
>>54247403
oh really? i'll check it out
>>54247632
they broke up :(
>>54247672
wow really?

i just read that and yeah it does appear kernel 4.4 does offer some sort of support for it.
downloading a ubuntu 16 iso.

are you blind or just memeing me?

not that anon but you're trying too hard dude
chill out

i don't get where the confusion is coming from

from what I observed he's trying to call you stupid or whatever, the guy seems to have some inferiority complex issues and is very aggressive, he should see a psychologist lol

this. it is also the case on windows

>>54247403
Xvid is still in use for SD and low-end encodes and is practically always carried in .avi container
>>54247942
most common lossy audio format for h.264 in .mp4 .mkv etc. is MPEG4-AAC or AAC in general.
>>54248394
with linux you always run into some fucking retarded bug over time that just makes you want to bang your head on your desk in frustra
>>54247401
>lunux - a puzzle game for the whole family
>>54247244
you are a stupid nigger and the reason why there should be segregation.
You can't say "MPEG-4." The container mp4 or it's derivative m4v are part of MPEG-4 Part 14.
>>54247174
Most encoders use aac audio, or flac anyways, with their MKV encodes.
>>54247672
>only two ports on the ipad - audio out and some proprietary one
>>54247692
There is no standard for audio, desktop application library(QT, GTK). There is no consistency, even Windows has a better L&F than Linux.
>>54248015
this contradicts your first statement, so adding a new display system will help?
>>54248313
better than windows, it doesn't even have a single root
>>54248511
What are you on about now, retard.
>>54248387
>>54248359
it's not like you need support for every audio format under the sun; just use ogg vorbis only.
>>54248270
>Can't insert audio/video clips
>>54248394
1/4" jacks do not improve audio quality idiots.
>>54248320
i'd say windows is slightly better than mac os for music/audio. but mac os has its advantages as well.
>>54247942
You get poor audio quality and large file sizes, you must be retarded. Other formats support gapless playback too, MP3 is completely obsolete and an enemy of your freedom.
>>54248313
>in-browser support for audio when that should be handled by an external program
>>54248015
Is it possible to record audio past 22khz in linux, with a capable sound card?
>>54247692
pic is related, it's the error I get when trying to select my audio out for the repeater. This ONLY happens with the selected audio out, my other choices are None, VAC 1, and VAC 2
>>54248554
>>54248593
STOP REPLYING TO ME I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT QT TRAPS
>>54248359
people who aren't retarded know there is no perceivable difference between a properly encoded lossy file and the original audio.
>>54248387
You're also retarded if you want to play lossless audio on an iPhone / iPad / iPod
>>54247942
What the fuck, are you putting 150 MB of audio into the executable as resources or something? Are you an idiot?
>>54248394
It's for producing music, stupid.
>>54248313
what is there to support, you moron?
the players have to support the video and audio format
>>54248579
>windows better than anything
>>54248295
Debian Sid, motherfucker. Do you use it?

Learn to fucking use window management, dumb kids.

Plenty of audio players, especially on Linux.
>>54248638
>alac doesn't exist
ALAC, or .m4a is Apple lossless audio codec, which can be played by the stock app, or any other iOS app.
You can play lossless audio and video on iOS, you need the right app. There are some length of apps that support mkv formats for video, such as VLC.
>>54248359
There is no other option. The audio stack in Vista/Win7/Win8 has been copied and pasted over and has sucked more and more.
do I have to have autism to understand this thread
>>54248320
Get a USB/firewire interface for production retard, of course you want high quality audio and lower latency if you are making music.
>>54248304
scrap the AMD shit and get an i7, both those DAWs support hyperthreading. If you can't afford it get a job or save up
>>54248270
You're saying that audio support would mean people uploading copyrighted music here, I'm saying that you must be new to think people don't already do that here. Only a retard wouldn't understand this.
seriously what is this its like a /g/ markov chain or something
>>54248339
That's stupid, WebM already has audio support, we shouldn't need shitty workarounds just because the admin is a tool
>>54247672
>>54247692
Vorbis and Opus are royalty free, lossy audio codecs.
They both have better sound quality at lower bitrates than mp3.
Opus is the best one.
WHATS GOING ON HELP
>>54248015
>I use VLC. With a few tweaks, it's perfect.
Enjoy your retard-level buffering, artifacts, poor image quality, shitty sub support, shitty pausing, poor audio decoding, and best of all enormous seek times.
I'll be here with my right and arrow key seeking at light speed or the ability to jump to any point in the video instantly with perfect quality preservation.
>>54248387
>this. it is also the case on windows
actually have a functional terminal?
have retarded amounts of audio latency or next to zero midi instrument support out of the box?
>>54247672
they exist because they are great for things like audio production you fucking idiots. a lot of DAW's lack good dual monitor support
>>54248412
Because Ricochet fundamentally won't be able to support low-latency video and audio.
>>54247942
Go fuck yourself, choke on a dick, whatever you gotta do. Just stop shitting up this board. Thanks.
>>54248270
Retarded audio stack, WINE still isn't as good as I want it to be.
>>54248320
He's right though.
MP3 is an old, outdated, non-free royalty-driven audio codec and format. Using 320k CBR MP3 is full retard, as you waste a huge amount of space.
If you want to use a lossy codec, use AAC because it is supported on every DMP/phone/autoradio and shit. An AAC-encoded piece of music takes several megabytes less than its MP3 counterpart, and you'll enjoy audio quality improvement.
If you don't care about support, use Vorbis or Opus.
>>54248304
I hate audiophiles so goddamn much.
>>54247632
You're a fucking MORON.
GSGO is a Source game you FUCKO.
Souce doesn't even support 3D audio.
KILL YOURSELF.
>>54248394
Most smartwatches don't bother transmitting audio data at all, you idiot. It's clear you don't know the first thing about this subject.
>>54247957
>>54248232
That company has put out some of the most retarded audio products ever made.
>>54248295
>human-to-human variations in sound preferences are relatively small.
>>54248313
No one cares dude, fuck off with your retarded complaints about your shit sound card and lack of support
>>54247401
Don't buy it, its not that great of a phone. Sound is kind of low, retarded boot loader and there isn't much support for it yet.
>>54247401
Oh boy, it's the Indians are taking our jobs and the women coder movement again.
>>54247692
This is exactly how retarded you sound.
Also why are other anon responding to this obviously tech support thread?
>>54247401
>1 : Firefox
No sandbox. UI laggy as shit.
>2 : Fish Shell
No POSIX support. You fucking hipster doofus. Go install zsh with ohmyzsh to experience the power.
>3 : Sublime Text 2 ( Waiting for more packages to be on sublime 3 )
Retard too stupid to learn vim so he's using these outdated and nearly-dead text editors (ST is down to a single developer and even he's slacking and giving up).
>4 : Utorrent ( I know I'm a peasant )
Spyware.
>5 : Mumble
I have no idea what that is nor do I care.
on shorty, you sound like an average IQ dumbfuck.
>>54247244
i also have my PS3 setup with HDMI to TV AND have the audio going down the HDMI.
