Linux AudioEngine testers - Linux only
Back with an update. I had gone to some local computer stores in hopes of grabbing a 430, but there were none to be found. Since I was impatient, I decided to risk it and picked up a cheap 610.

Results are much better, though only one problem that I'm currently experiencing. All sources play (DTS, AC3, TrueHD, DTS-MA), and HD audio is registering on my receiver. But when playing DTS-MA I'm getting a constant clicking on all sources.

Since I'm testing this out on a 610 card, the only way I could get this to work was to use the 302.17 drivers from x-swat. At this point, with the exception of the DTS-MA sound problem, I'm very happy. At least for now I can just switch to DTS.

I did rebuild the box from scratch in order to test this, starting with XBMCbuntu, then upgrading to 12.04.

cat /proc/asound/version

Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.25.
