Santa Cruz works in Linux? (HOWTO inside)

Hello everyone,

For the longest time, I thought linux does not support my Turtle Beach Santa
Cruz sound card. On the contrary, it has supported it all along. All that
it requires is tampering with some modules.

All you need to do is the following:

insmod soundcore
insmod ac97_codec
insmod cs46xx

Everything should work.

In your /etc/modules.conf, put the following to do this automatically on
boot:

alias sound-slot-0 cs46xx
pre-install cs46xx modprobe -k ac97_codec

Ahhh... Finally got this information out. It's nice to know that I didn't
buy a $99 sound card that only works in Winblows.

Have you verified that this works? I heard that the ALSA project spports the cs4630 chip as well. Please let me know if you have this card and or know anyone else who has gotten thsi to work... I am desperate for info on Linux compatible sound cards especially non-SB cards. This one seems like a real winner.
