Sound card recommendations - gquiring - 2009-02-10
I spent all day trying to get an Audigy 0094 card to work in ubuntu. I finally unplugged the hard drive and quickly installed Windows to make sure the Audigy was working with the Sound Blaster Digital I/O module. I am glad I took these steps as it didn't work there either. I can't tell if my Audigy is the Value/SE card or not but I'm done screwing around with it.
What's a known good sound card that works well with ubuntu/XBMC that has a TOS connection?

Check out the Hardware Support page on the Ubuntu Wiki:

I don't know what TOS is, but if you know the card you can see if it's listed on there.

If you can't find a card with an optical out, you can also get a card with coax out and use a coax to optical converter box (I think they're about $30).
I'm using an old SB Audigy 2 with a coax S/PDIF out. It works great including DTS.

I got the Dynex from Best Buy for $25. It works perfectly with DTS via my TosLink.
