I have installed Ubuntu on an EPIA LN10000EG. The sound card output is outrageously noisy, on the scope there's a waveform at about 2MHz which is much louder than the actual audio, but it's mostly filtered out by the subsequent hardware (audio amp) leaving a residual hiss. It sounds noisier than an ordinary soundblaster card. I'm using an M-audio Delta 1010 on the PCI slot, which works really well since the audio unit is a long way from the computer. The board also has an spdif output, which would naturally be noise-free.

Hi HC,
did you notice much computer noise on the soundcard, as Ingo
reported with the VIA chipsets?d.

I just built a Debian box from a EN15000 and have since found how

There are some acknowledged issues, I think my freezes are
related, but basically, if I have a IDE CDROM and/or USB disk
hooked up, it'll lock up after about a day. If I only have the
SATA disks attached, then no freezes...-- derek holzer ::: http://www.umatic.nl ::: http://blog.myspace.com/ macumbista ---Oblique Strategy # 49: "Display your talent"
