Hello
A good sound card recognized directly under ubuntu 20.04 LTS and archlinux with good speakers it does the job well
I recommend
This sound card offers a very high sound quality. I am not disappointed!
It sends the signal to a Logitech Z906 5.1: Great, powerful and immersive sound!
The small black EMI plate adds a welcome aesthetic touch.
The software supplied with it is very simple and quite complete: an opportunity for customisation and parameterisation that is as good as it gets.
Note: the driver version on the CD may be buggy/outdated.
Go here to get the latest version and also choose your OS:

To conclude: I recommend for those who absolutely want to have a perfect and customizable sound! But you have to be honest, it's still quite expensive. Most high-end motherboards have audio chipsets that already do a good job.
It's up to you to decide what you need!
PS: I have not tested the sound via headphones
I'm happy with this sound card, which is much better than my motherboard's Realtek integrated chipset. And above all, I don't have to install the messy drivers from Realtek, which sometimes forgets to install the control panel.
The Asus audio configuration software is simple and efficient.
In my opinion, good value for money.
Thank you LDLC for the perfect delivery.
Fifteen years ago, I never thought I would see the end of the SoundBlasters domination.
But time flies and today ASUS impresses me with this sound card that offers a phenomenally pure sound. On 192khz/24bits samples, there is really a difference with my old sound cards, I took a big slap (with small baffles).
There is also the Sonic Studio software, which offers some gimmicky options, the equalizer is not very accurate, but I must admit that the pre-set profiles are not useless.
In the same universe: xonar
