Sound Blaster Audigy SE Sound Blaster Audigy Value Sound Blaster 5.1 VX	CA0106	Details	[PCI] Not all features on all models supported. On the VX, white noise on playback unless initialized in Windows first. One quirky (but permanent) workaround is to enable the old oss modules, specifically the 100% sound blaster compatible module (sb). You don't have to load the oss modules. They just sit there. The alsa module snd-ca0106 works fine somehow if the old sb module is compiled in the kernel as a module (no white noise).
