I thought it was supported, then I thought it was supported in 4.11, then today I patched the nvidia driver (if you need help with that I can do) and installed the 4.11 driver, but the audio is still total junk, and the codec is still listed as generic.
The audio quality is .. really bad... The mic input quality is so bad it might as well not be there.
In windows, its amazing, add in the headphone amp and now its really something. I use a lot of audio i/o so a USB DAC even if a quality one had a mic input (they don't) still wouldn't cover my needs, so please, don't suggest "buy a USB DAC" (which is really a DAC, and an Amp, which adds up, then you need inputs too for your mic, right? and so on).
Anyway, anyone have any info on the status of this codec? The support for it is in name only, so I really don't know what to think at this point.

Anyone actually able to run this?
I tried from Mint way back, now I'm on Manjaro and the dependencies (pygtk2/python-gtk) are not even in AUR so I don't know what I'm supposed to do there (this is the default go-to tool for any and all audio troubleshooting, but its not something that as far as I can tell anyone has been able to actually use in years).
Some more info:
CPU: R5 1600 (O.C. 3.95) -- Give it a thumbs up.
MB: Aurus X370 K7 -- Don't buy yet. The BIOS is buggy as heck and I wouldn't count on it being fixed soon.
RAM: 16GB Trident Z 3200
CPU cooler: Cooler Master TX3 (yeah, super old, 3 heat pipes, doing the work still somehow).
