All in all I've been very happy with it, but the audio recording is very<br>
static-ey. It has an onboard audio card.<br>
<br>
I'm running Arch Linux, and ALSA. I've tried OSS and Pulse, no luck.<br>
I've tried different mics, and both mic ports on the box (one on the<br>
front, one on the back).<br>
<br>
I've read lots and lots of docs, both on the Arch wiki and the ALSA pages.<br>
<br>
You guys are my last hope, any ideas?<br>
<br>
Related, if I can't make it work, I'll probably just buy a new<br>
soundcard. How hard is it to make Linux be happy with 2 sound cards in<br>
the box, using the right one for the right things?<br>
