I got a Behringer UCA202 : http://www.behringer.com/UCA202/index.cfm?lang=eng (Burr-Brown/TI PCM2902 chip inside) which is low-end "musician quality" USB sound card and has quite a good sound quality (good SnR ratio, low THD and a wide frequency response : see the manual for the actual values). And it is pretty cheap, i found it for around 30€ in a music shop. Of course, working fine with linux-usb-audio. Except for a "small" bug that i could maybe point someone's attention on here : http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb-users&m=116791458129201&w=2 which is quite annoying (appears only on ppc apparently). But the quality is worth it for such a cheap device. No more distortions in loud and high sections, a bit less background noise. Tested with a Sennheiser HD495 headset. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
