Or I should say Alsa recognizes it, but Pulse doesn't. Either way, I can't get a peep out of it.<br /><br /> Pulse does see on-motherboard sound, and hdpi sound on my radeon hd4650. The catch is, I can't get hdpi sound out through the agp interface, and mb audio is disabled in bios.<br /><br /> Soooo I found this online available at a local computer store:<br /> <a href="https://techsourcecanada.ca/pc-components/sound-cards/usb-5.1-sound-card/">https://techsourcecanada.ca/pc-components/sound-cards/usb-5.1-sound-card/</a><br /><br /> Went down on my lunch break and picked one up then tested it from a Fedora 26 live dvd and voila: sound! (also tested working in Windows 10).<br /><br /> It looks horribly cheap.<br /><br /><img alt="" src="https://techsourcecanada.ca/images/thumbnails/280/280/product/1/thumbnail_detailed_image_337_384.jpg?t=1437608848" /></div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42020.1&return_msg=42020.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42020.1"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42020_2"></a><div class="message" id="message_42020_2"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: ANT_THOMAS<span class="message_time"> 6 Sep 2017 21:14</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 6 Sep 2017 23:53"></span></span> <span class="message_count">2 of 6</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42020.2">42020.2</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42020.1#a42020_1" target="_self">42020.1</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I've got some equally cheap ones that do a good enough job.

I bought them for £6 in a corner shop when I had no space for larger speakers, not much money, and I'd given up bothering about sound quality. Little rubber-mounted aluminium cones, and for the price of a couple of drinks in a pub they're just amazingly good. Could I do better? Of course - but probably for 5-10 times the price.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42020.4&return_msg=42020.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42020.4"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42020_5"></a><div class="message" id="message_42020_5"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time"> 7 Sep 2017 15:07</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: william (WILLIAMA) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 7 Sep 2017 15:20"></span></span> <span class="message_count">5 of 6</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42020.5">42020.5</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42020.1#a42020_4" target="_self">42020.4</a></div> <div class="message_body"> OK, that's nice, but I FOUND my speakers in the LAUNDRY ROOM and they SOUND AWFUL.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42020.5&return_msg=42020.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42020.5"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42020_6"></a><div class="message" id="message_42020_6"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time"> 9 Sep 2017 02:32</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ALL<span class="message_count">6 of 6</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42020.6">42020.6</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Also works in xp I accidentally discovered.
