My on board card is (if I run lspci:) 00:09.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP73 High Definition Audio (rev a1) And to record my guitar I have recently bought this (cheapest) T.BONE USB-1G (http://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tbone_usb1g.htm?sid=a939dfae3529d54ead5d2523ae73a789) where with lsusb I take: Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0d8c:0008 C-Media Electronics, Inc. Since I am new with (ubuntu) audio/studio software and hardware, I do not know how to further appreciate and make use this information with regard to your comments!
