Installed Linux as an operating system for online browsing & listening to internet radio.
All went well and the pc is running better then ever. Band in a box is running better than it's done for ages as well.
Can Anyone give me advice on how to get my soundcard working in Linux Ubuntu ? I'm a complete newb as far as Linux goes and the forum seems to be all too high tech for me to understand.

You're running BIAB in LINUX?AHH I don't think so .I think only the real old versions ran using WINE and not very well.
As far as Linux it is not for those that are not quite computer capable. You will run into issues that you may not be able to fix.
Just a caution from a long time user.

Graham,
Ububntu desktop version has the "Gnome ALSA mixer" which can be found under "multimedia" applications. The mixer will list all soundcards on your machine, and for each card there will be a set of sliders to control the different inputs. Unmute the inputs which you want to have in service, and adjust the master volume and individual volume controls to suit.
Typically, your generic soundcard will be listed by brand and model #, and the audio input for streaming audio from the web will be labelled "PCM" and/or "Line".
I use "PureDyne", which is an audio-specific Linux release, so I can only give you general information regarding Ubuntu. An audio enthusiast such as yourself should really be using PureDyne or 64 Studio, because they are released with a real-time kernel and can do some serious audio and video chores.

Oren,
What version of Linux are you running/
In Ubuntu 10.04 I don't think that the ALSA gui is installed by default.Can't find it anyway.

Thanks, John! The folks in the Netherlands who develop "PureDyne" ( http://puredyne.org/ ) have taken the most recent fully functional version of "Ubuntu Studio" (version 9.10) and tweaked it to perform optimally for musicians, videophiles, and graphic artists. Puredyne users can access the Ubuntu repositories for software packages to further customize their operating system and applications. Musicians who want to employ Windows-dependant software on the same drive as their Linus O/S can do so by running their favourite version of Windows from within PureDyne using an application called "virtual box" ( http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads ). Personally, if I want to do some work in a Windows environment - with a PG Music product, for instance - I use a separate hard drive, and keep it off the web.
