Today, I picked up a soundbar to use with my TV/Monitor. It takes optical audio in (TOSLINK), which my TV has 'out', so I have HDMI to my TV/Monitor and optical out to the soundbar. It sounds much better, and I can live with that. Played some music with Clementine and it sounded decent...
No luck with Emmabuntus. I'm not saying it's a conspiracy, but it is conspicuous. It really makes me sad, that Linux has gone the way of MS. Going for the easy way out. You know MS would come out with an upgrade that would 'fix' something and in the process 'break' others. What pisses me...
