Not with Ubuntu. Rarely do I read of an unsupported sound device, on
that list, being unsupported or broken. I have 5.1 sound, pro-audio USB
headset (plus mike) and a web-cam (mike), all properly detected and
switchable-to on the fly with zero problems. I mean, it is So KeWl!
That's why I install Ubuntu first. Kubuntu had it borked and apparently
still does. I love KDE as my desktop. But, it's like "love the sinner,
but hate the sin". Ric
