You name it, I've had issues with it. From the Intel audio card in my Thinkpad w530 to the Creative Soundblaster in my radio station's automation tower. I've never used a USB audio interface with Linux, but bluetooth audio on linux has a massive delay. In fairness, that delay is also present on OS X. For whatever reason, Windows is the only OS that will stream audio across bluetooth in real time.

It's possible the issue isn't with the audio drivers themselves but with PulseAudio and ALSA, which are both huge, steaming pile of shit. I just assumed PulseAudio and ALSA were both bad because of bad driver support and not because nobody in the linux ecosystem knows how to write an audio system.

okay ?

I'm not using Bluetooth on my Linux PCs, so I can't comment on this.

The last audio problems I had with Linux was more than 6 years ago when I was using Ubuntu - it configured my soundcard on the PC wrong, was easily fixed. I am using Arch Linux in the last years and didn't have a problem with sound card drivers at all. Recording 16 tracks at the same time, mixing and using the HDMI or the analog Output on my media pc.
