Soundblaster Z, does it work?

Exodus111 · 2014-01-08 23:50:10

I need to buy a new Soundcard, the Soundblaster Z looks good and not too expensive, but a google search reveals some issues with the drivers in Linux, though the majority of these posts are at least a few months old.

So... I gotta ask, does anyone use Soundblaster Z successfully with Arch Linux ?

So.. nobody knows?

For some reason it is not displayed in the alsa list: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index. … ative_Labs

Which is weird, that list contains Soundcards that do not work, why would Soundblaster Z not even be present? I guess it's bad news.

I have ZX and it does not work, it only has sound by front analog jack

Oh well, creative goes right into the blacklist, their response in their forums was basically "nomoney" yet they have the money for flashy marketing
