Hallo, Paul Fox hat gesagt: // Paul Fox wrote:after visiting the edirol site, i see what you mean. i guess i should add "low cost" to my list of criteria. :-) if it's not clear by now, i'm not looking for professional or audiophile quality. i'm hoping someone will tell me that something like this turtle beach product works perfectly: http://www.turtlebeach.com/site/products/audioadv/amigo/I can confirm, that the Terratec Aureon works very well, it's a budget card and still will let you do the DJ on parties and has all in- and outputs most people need. I didn't know the TB Amigo, it looks cute, however I'd say, everyone really wants to have line-in, which the Amigo seems to be missing. I *guess* it is supported as well, as most cheaper USB cards tend to use off-the-shelf chipsets that are generally standards' compliant. Not being compliant would drive up the costs because companies would need to write special drivers for the operating systems. Ciao
The MAudio Transit is a card with good specs, which I believe now works automatically with Linux. In the old 2.4 kernels, the usb system had a bug which made it hard to load the firmware onto the card (or rather resettingthe bus would crash the usb bus and then the computer). However I believe it now works fine. My old laptop got stolen and my new one has an onboard soundcard, so I have not tried the Transit so cannot guarentee that it works. If it does, it has gooda sound and is relatively cheap ( US 70 or so) It is also very portable (smaller than a mouse)
