Yeah it does, but honestly you're wasting your money (its overpriced) if 
you buy that you might as well get a regular PCI-e card and stick it in 
the x4 as you'll be wasting an x16 PCI-e slot if you use asus's silly 
MIO stuff (you have to install it in slot 1 on the d8/d16) and no other 
boards have MIO so its stuck on one computer.

Its a crappy realtek chip, so it will work but it won't work well.

If I was you I'd get a used pci-e creative soundblaster x-fi, they have 
great linux support from the company and the sound is way better than 
the usual realtek or cmedia chips.
