sound problems @ linux???
Hello, does anyone know if there is a soundcard that works normally at linux, because my onboard AC'97 jacksense doesn't. I know its linux's problem because it won't work with jacksense soundcard really good.

I have a Yamaha that works great. Yes Creative cards, Ensoniq, and Soundblaster Live work well (not the adulterated legacy ones found in Gateway and Dell systems).
What motherboard is this? And yes, what exact distro and version?
If you go with a add-on PCI card, just make sure that you disable the onboard sound in the bios.

AC97 is an industry standard. It is not a specific piece of hardware, i.e., a brand. You did not mention which release of Linux you are using, but I have found that the ALSA drivers work for 99% of the sound systems I have encountered.
ALSA can be a little tricky to install if you are not familiar with Linux installation procdures, but I am fairly sure that it will fix your problem.
