Made this card for many months in use as a substitute for the weak onboard sound of the Raspberry Pi. If Linux (Debian or Raspbian) automatically detected and it can be used without configuration begin. The audio signal flows in me from this card via a mixer, where it is already a time pre-amplified and then to the actual amplifier. The sound quality is clear and can be heard even if headphones are connected to the card directly via jack. It may be that there is still a level of feeling better for audiophiles but the value for money is here for me more than fine.
