Re: Soundcard: Aureal Vortex2 SQ2500



http://sourceforge.net/projects/aureal

I have a vortex2 but I can't confirm the poor performance comment as
I've only used it for light duty under linux with the original open
sourced drivers many months ago. Now I use es1371 for my linux audio as
it is very well supported. I will switch to the vortex2 if the drivers
mature.
