Hi,
these days I really was amazed, because while discussing the
new Virus TI in the Access mailing list, I was told that the
Virus TI will do audio over a 1.1 USB bus.
Is it really true that USB 1.1 can do audio, and if so, are
there any USB soundcards out there which one could recommend?
I did a search in the archives of this list, and found a
recommendation of Clemens Ladisch that the Edirol UA-30 is
working well.
Unfortunately, it seems that it is discontinued. So, are there
any further devices one of you uses successfully?
I ask because I have a Dell Inspiron notebook and the audio
connection is simply lousy; if there were any USB 1.1
soundcard which will work well on my Gentoo box, I guess I'd
immediately buy one!
I put some system specs below. Lets see what I'm looking for
in detail:
* Audio in and out, both stereo
* Mic in
* Headphones out (not needed necessarily)
* MIDI not necessarily required because I already use an
Edirol UM-1S
Furthermore, what would you like to recommend as plugs? What
are the (dis)advantages between cinch and 3.5mm plugs?
Thanks a lot for your thoughts,
ce
