There aren't that many PCI chipsets. The CMI8738/8768/8770 chips have the DACs and ADCs integrated and aren't very good (although the 68/70 are noticeably better). The ICE1712/1724, CA0106, X-Fi and CMI8788 chips are purely digital and must be combined with separate DAC/ADC chips, which usually are quite good. The X-Fi is not supported very well. The CA0106 is supported, and used on several cheap Sound Blaster cards, e.g. the SB 5.1 VX. The ICE1712/ ICE1724 chips are used in many models; see the .h files in . (The "ICE1723" is a low-end model, and I don't know if it's supported at all). The CMI8788 is used on the Asus Xonar cards; the D1/DX/D2/D2X/ST/ STX are supported; the DS is partially supported in the latest kernel. Regards, Clemens
