My problem when I updated to 8.1 was that the volume was kind of binary, either full volume or cero. I reinstalled both of the drivers from here: http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m;=Audio&os;=30. Hope it solves your problem as well.

The version you have is the most recent version. I have the oldest version 1.01. Which I am planning to ordering very soon. I hope that helps. It's great software, don't you think?

I have been running Ubuntu 11.04 on it for about a month and so far everything is great, no compatibility issues (though I admit I haven't put it through a full on stress test). I will say that I had to update the kernel from 2.6.38 (the default on installation) to 2.6.39 to resolve a freezing issue, but since then I have not had any problems. I have not tried installing any other Linux distributions.

I'm pretty sure Zotac is working on a revision to this board. There was a problem with the wake-on USB function on the original shipment. I'm sure most vendors are holding off until Zotac gets this fixed (or likely Zotac isn't shipping anymore until they fix it).

My last update, but I figured anyone interested in Ubuntu on this would be excited with this news:I am currently booted up on the LIVE CD (well image) of 9.10 beta (releases tomorrow) and it appears that everything is supported natively. The wireless drivers (that were a pain) are good, card reader, wired, better battery (by a slight amount). Also - the hotkeys all work (FN + (key)).Other distros I am not sure what their newest native driver support is like, but it is clearly do-able and if you want it you can get it on here. I hope the release doesn't lose any of this stuff!

D. Kaminsky, pls give us some details on the death of your SoundSticks II. As a current owner I'm very interested in knowing how helpful & co-operative H_K is in resolving your issue. I hope they deal with you fairly & quickly. Personally, I thought their website was a nightmare to negotiate.

BenQ silently released firmware v4. You can learn how to update with Linux through the BlurBusters forum but I personally want a way to do it through Windows.

Probably V1.0 but I really don't remember for sure. It was a year ago that I bought it. Sorry.

It should treat the box as an external sound card. In this case, it should work. Linux has OOB drivers, unlike Windows and the need to download and install drivers. This being said, it should work with Linux.

I'm sure you could find some more information on the forums. I personally have not tried running it on Linux. I would imagine you just need to find the correct drivers to run it properly. Good luck.

Revision's will be posted in the name of the product ie: ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard (notice the R2.0)! This item is the FIRST Revision of the product!

It does work with Ubuntu out of the box. I can't speak to other distros, but I know Schiit has put effort into this product working with Linux. They've marketed it a few times and demonstrated it running on Ubuntu and as the M&M stack being good sound that young people can actually afford. And it running on Linux was a big part of that. So I would assume that anything called "Audiophile Linux", which I have previously not heard of, would be right up their alley for this product.

Newegg is ignoring the release date and selling them. There are 5 reviews up there if you wish to read them. I bought a pair and I'm pretty happy with them but the 7.1 drivers aren't available yet (probably the reason for the delay). They just install as USB Stereo headset at the moment. Bluetooth sounds pretty good on my phone (but still bluetooth). The PS3 ones cut out a lot over bluetooth attached to my Surface but these ones are better (although I still use the USB because it's better than bluetooth).

Linux operating system drivers will be needed and if you don't have them see http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/448607-Driver-for-Creative-Labs-Sound-Blaster-X-Fi-Xtreme-Audio-(PCIe) for more information.

Try this link for a download location and how to install the drivers. The sound card uses the Realtek engine so they should work.http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1236
