what distro? and what soundchipset? i dind sound sometimes take a little coaxing but most known audio chipsets are supported in one distro or another.
All the distros use different library and source bases, so saying linux can't do it is like sayinng all cars cant have cupholders because my 1965 super beetle does not.

After becoming extremely frustrated and a whole lot of forum reading, it seems that audio is at about the point that printing was a zillion years ago with Linux. I was shocked and have never seen such instability. The problems I had trying to get shit running for Sparkay were very commonly reported. Audio would often die at random, after a random period of time. In Ubuntu it did this semi-consistently when running Flash through Firefox if there was sound. Ubuntu also sometimes crashed the GUI (both Gnome and KDE) when this happened. Sometimes the sound just crashed, and restarting the relevant services did not correct it although rebooting the OS did correct it. (This is not what I expect from Linux.) I tried multiple open-source mixing softwares, all of which crashed the audio and crashed the GUI about half of the time. Fedora had a similar problem, though the audio just seemed to stop running period after a random amount of uptime (in the multiple days range), and never crashed the GUI when this happened. With this
