Last November at Phoronix we had featured a preview of the Razer Barracuda AC-1 sound card and after taking off its EMI shield we had found that this card depended upon the C-Media Oxygen HD CMI8788 audio processor, which at the time was not supported under Linux. Though support had come in the Open Sound System (OSS) version 4.0 for this CMI8788 APU. Well, now finally in ALSA 1.0.15 the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture will support this C-Media audio chip. ALSA 1.0.15-rc1 was released recently and contains the initial CMI8788 audio driver. In this article we will be taking a quick look at where this driver stands today for the Razer Barracuda AC-1 under Linux.

Creative own the audio market. When people say PC audio, the reply is Creative. No one has really had the balls to try and take them on in the gaming audio arena. That is, until now. Step in the Razer Barracuda AC-1, built by and for gamers.

Razer is well known for its gaming mice but just how well does its new gaming soundcard fare against the might of Creative's X-Fi?

The card itself is a built on a nice black PCB that should look good installed on many motherboards. The Passive EMI shield has a nice graphic on it, not that you'll ever see it once it is installed. But if you do have a windowed case, Razer has a nice little surprise designed to add a little style. The familiar neon green usually associated with Razer, and missing with the HP-1 headset, is well represented here. A small piece of black plexi with green lettering is placed at the top of the card. Behind it is a double row of green LED's positioned to illuminate the Razer logo. Nice touch.
