I have a quick question regarding the latest CrystalClear soundcard that is found in Dell Inspirons and other laptops (model name CS4205). My understanding is that the maker of this DSP chip is rather Linux friendly, so my question is does the driver for this soundcard (which I believe is Intel810 and has been reported to be working in Linux) supports hardware mixing (i.e. opening sound device multiple times as is the case with SBLive!), since this card also advertises having hardware mixer like SBLive! does. I=92ve also heard that most other modern mainstream soundcards have that capability and some of them simply = don=92t do that due to lack of documentation (i.e. Ess maestro 3i). So what is then the case with this one and how does it stack-up against other mobile built-in soundcards? Finally, my last question is whether anyone has had any experience with Dell=92s new line of Inspirons 4100 which have only one fan and have = been relatively altered from the old 4000/8000 models, also whether anyone knows if that model still has the fan bug like the inspirons 4000/8000 do? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
