Hey, on ubuntu, I have good experience with: -echo layla 3g (8in8out,2preamps, phantom...) -m-audio delta 1010LT -m-audio delta 44 -rme hammerfall dsp + multiface, both PCI and PCMCIA (note: the output jack sockets are too close to each other, which can give you a hard time connecting more than 2 cables with 'sturdy' jacks.) all those worked pretty much out of the box
bad experience with: -firewire soundcard using 'freebob' driver (I think the brand was motu, or presonus, or focusrite, one of those, I don't remember exactly...but, while it was officially supposed to work (checked alsa soundcard matrix) it didn't...) I haven't checked recently, but I still have the impression that firewire soundcards are poorly supported on linux... -m-audio delta 66 no sound, don't know the reason, is anyone using this card ? gr, Tim 2010/4/12 Bryan Jurish <jur...@uni-potsdam.de> > moin Marco, > > in my desktop i've got an m-audio delta 1010 lt (used from e-bay), which > worked "out of the box" (8 unbalanced analalog i/o and midi from a "cat > o' 9 tails" which plugs directly into the card). its big brother (delta > 1010, no "lt" suffix) has a nice breakout box (balanced) and uses the > same chipset ("envy24", alsa module snd-ice1712). iirc, the terratec > phase88 uses the same chipset with an unbalanced breakout box. > > latency was ok out of the box (don't remember the numbers right now, > sorry), but i had to do some os-level tweaking to get things working to > my satisfaction (realtime kernel, irq priorities, pci settings, etc - > all scripted now and available on request). also, i had to comment out > a few lines in the envy24control sources (dedicated mixer gui for the > card) in order to stop my console from filling up with annoying warnings > -- really nothing more than an annoyance; i can send you a patch if you > have the same problem... if you can afford one, the rme cards are likely > to be much better, but my budget didn't stretch quite that far ;-) > > marmosets, > Bryan > > On 2010-04-12 14:11:41, Marco Donnarumma <de...@thesaddj.com> appears to > have written: > > Hi all, > > I know it's OT, but I would like to get an advice from Linux Pd users. > > I'm about to buy a soundcard with up to 8 analog I/O for max > > 500euro/pounds and want it to be compatible with Linux (I mean, I would > > like something working ""out-of-the-box""). > > I've been advised about the Terratec Phase 88 Rack.. > > Any other suggestion? > > -- > Bryan Jurish "There is *always* one more bug." > jur...@uni-potsdam.de -Lubarsky's Law of Cybernetic Entomology > > _______________________________________________ > Pd-list@iem.at mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list >
