I've been wanting to move to Linux for my primary desktop (i'm using it at work, and have gotten accustomed to the way things work, and that they work). The only thing holding me back is playing music through my computer...

Anybody know if there's support for the AV-710 in hi-rez mode? If I can get that to work, I'll be saying goodbye to XP, with a smile on my face

It works perfectly under Linux, and I know it's capable of high rez output, but on alsamixer there's a bunch of settings I don't understand that seem to have something to do with the high rez output. I managed to get the card to output noise on the high rez output, but nothing else. I think this was because I had one of the settings on "44100" and not "96000". I think the right combination will result in high rez mode. If anyone figures this out let me know.

Heh. I spent 30 seconds fiddling with it and now it works perfectly.

I'll post a tutorial on how to set it up in a bit.

Interesting... You have the option of playing out of the high rez jack and the speakers at the same time. I can't get anything but 48000 hz sampling rate to work though. If I set it to anything else via 'amixer cset', I get distortion.

Awesome! I can't wait to hear about it!

Okay, directions are up at www.vandemar.org. Enjoy.

Good work ADS. I'll add it to the Graphical AV-710 Setup guide (unless you object).

Fine by me.

I'm willing to buy this soundcard, as soon as I find it in Europe (preferably at a local store so I won't have to pay shipping costs).

I'll let you know about my personal experience then.
