It sucks, at least in my experience.
I've flip flopped back and forth between the various flavors of Linux/XBMC and Windows 7/XBMC. I've tried 3 different computers and the results are always the same, audio quality is sub par under Linux. Currently I have XBMCbuntu installed and the backround audio drowns out the spoken dialogue and I can find no way to adjust it. Audio also sound muddy and lack clarity. OTOH, Windows audio is perfect and I can tweek it to my hearts content.
I'd dearly love to us a non MS OS for my HTPC but won't until I can resolve the audio issues.
Anybody know if an add-in sound card that's Linux friendly would solve the problem?
