     @wertimer @npc for the record an ISA original Sound Blaster card works absolutely fine in the latest version of Linux.

     @wertimer @npc the problem with onboard audio is that they get electrical noise and they are the cheapest possible components. it varies from board to board. if you get an OEM Dell it is noticeably fucking terrible. If you buy a nice ASUS board for your build it's fine.

     @sun @npc same question, though, is there a noticeable quality increase over mobo sound (for normal inexpensive headphones)?

     @ooignignoktoo @npc @wertimer it's direct IO so I don't think it takes a lot of work

     @sun @npc @wertimer ISA is pretty old school nowadays. Cool to see Linux is keeping retro support alive in the latest kernel.

     @ElDeadKennedy @npc @ooignignoktoo @wertimer these work perfectly fine!
     
     PCI and USB to ISA adapters don't work for sound cards. don't ask me how I know or how much money was spent.
