With this card the only thing that you have to remember is to plug and turn on the card before turning on the computer. Hot plug seems to be an issue on this particular model (dont know about other brands/models).

At this moment to be sure that a usb audio card will work you have to shop for USB 1 (class compliant), USB2 (or 3) cards most llikely will need some drivers for linux (not always available).

Interesting...

Thanks for the recommendations.  Are USB sound devices easier to get working now? Last time I tried was a long time ago.

Thanks!

I have an Alesis io4, not the best onboard pereamps but very low on budget (if you need 2 inputs only there is the io2 thats cheaper).

In ALSA there are no parameters that can be controlled (via driver), everything is configurable with knobs and switches on the unit.

Ogg: [Csnd] multichannel sound cards for Linux?

Hi,

A tiny bit off-topic, but I'm told it might be of interest to a few people...

I have a delta 1010LT I really like.  In looking for spare breakout cables in case of cat, I discovered that it's been discontinued (with most of the m-audio sound cards) and isn't available.

Any recommendations for sound cards that work well with Linux?  (Jack/ALSA.)  

Thanks,

Jen
