not sure about 6 years ago, but TO DATE, every time I do a linux install
on my Dell desktop with SoundBlaster card, the sound NEVER works out of
the box. I always have to figure out how to install Pulse Audio Volume
control, then start whatever I want to listen to ( vlc, youtube video in
Chrome..) then open PA volume control, and change it to my SB card.
Debian, Mint, Fedora, all have the same issue.
