<title>Soundcard experiences, recommendations</title>
<para>
On Linux, a 2.4.x kernel is highly recommended. Kernel 2.2 is not tested.
</para>
<para>
Linux sound drivers are primarily provided by the free version of OSS.
These drivers have been superseded by <ulink url="http://www.alsa-project.org">ALSA</ulink>
(Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) in the 2.5 development series. If
your distribution does not already use ALSA you may wish to try their
drivers if you experience sound problems. ALSA drivers are generally
superior to OSS in compatibility, performance and features. But some
sound cards are only supported by the commercial OSS drivers from
<ulink url="http://www.opensound.com/">4Front Technologies</ulink>.
They also support several non-Linux systems.
