C Appendix C: Linux remote audio
device support
As shown in Figure 2-21 RGS audio subsystem on Linux on page 34, an audio device is required to be
installed in Linux-based Remote Computers in order for application-generated audio to be sent to the
Local Computer. Furthermore, the audio device installed in the Remote Computer must have the ability
to record from a control that is the mix of all audio signals. On a Windows computer, by way of
comparison, this control is often called “Stereo Mix”. Linux, however, does not follow a standard
naming convention for this control—hence, the need to evaluate individual audio devices to determine
their suitability for use on Linux.
Listed below are the PCI audio cards (with their on-card model numbers) that are known to work on
Linux-based HP xw Personal Workstations operating as Remote Computers:
●
SoundBlaster Audigy 4—SB0660
●
SoundBlaster Audigy 4—SB0610
●
SoundBlaster Audigy 2ZS—SB0350
●
SoundBlaster Live!—CT4780
In addition, the following HP xw Personal Workstations have audio hardware on the motherboard that
is suitable for generating remote audio on Linux-based Remote Computers:
●
xw4200
●
xw6200
●
xw8200
●
xw4300
●
xw4550
