Does Audigy 2 / Audigy 2 ZS work in Debian?

[Stevan Krov <vetanix@gmail.com>]

Hello list, 

I am looking for a decent sound card that can work well with Debian. I found 
some good prices for Audigy 2 and Audigy 2 ZS (not platinum nor pro), but the 
reports regarding these cards are mixed. Some say it's working, some say it's 
not working at all. Google wasn't very helpful. The alsa site lists some 
models of Audigy, but not the above mentioned. It's also very important that 
the mic input is fully functional. I will be very thankful for any 
information and experience you share.

Kind regards,
Stevan
