From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think the audio interface thing needs a big asterisk; IF you are only interested in stereo, then it's not much of an issue. But getting 5.1 to work has been a huge hassle for me.
What hardware, audio interface, and sound server is in use for your 5.1 Surround setup?
Using pipewire, and I've tried both the SB X4 USB DAC, and a SBX AE-5 PCIe card. Obviously being Creative products that's the cause of my issues, but I have found it very very hard to find alternatives. Every recommended option just supports stereo, it seems.
