sound cards / Indian Debian developers.
Hello all,
Shirish's message reminded me of the existence of this list. So... two
things.
First, I just rebuilt my computer with a new motherboard (the old one
recently died). However, the onboard sound card is a Realtek piece of
crap. I've been having a terrible time trying to find a sound card that
works well with Linux (specifically Alsa, I guess) and that is available
in India. For some reason, there is a ridiculous scarcity of sound cards
in India.
I found a couple of places in India that sell the Sound Blaster Live! 5.1.
This is an ancient card, but apparently works well with Linux, and would
be an improvement on my Realtek piece of junk. I wrote to ask them the
exact model, to make sure they actually had the right card, but neither of
them have replied so far. Does anyone have any ideas about a suitable
sound card available in India, or knows where one could get a Sound
Blaster Live! 5.1 or similar?
Second, is anyone keeping a list of Indian Debian developers along with
contact information, and if so, could you share it? Thanks. I know I can
get something from people.debian.org, which currently gives 9 names for
India, but it may not be up to date.
Regards, Faheem
