Review: Phoronix
________
After months of anticipation launched two days ago by Razer was their new Barracuda AC-1 sound card. This sound card is slated to provide "pinpoint specific audio sound cues in-game with 38% greater accuracy than conventional soundcards, providing for the ultimate gaming experience." The onboard audio chip also claims to support 3D/720 degree positional audio. Razer is known for their professional gaming peripherals and mice, so how well are they able to manufacturer a sound card? What all comprises the Razer Barracuda AC-1? Does the AC-1 work with GNU/Linux? Today we have our hands on the Razer Barracuda AC-1, and in this preview we hope to answer these questions plus more.
