Re: [Alsa-user] USB soundcard advice

Good to hear that you also think it's a good pick. It would have been perfect if M Audio itself made it possible to update firmwe regardless of the os one uses, but I guess there not the only manufacturer out there that is not that visionary. Anyway, I'll order one and will start using it when I'm

Re: [Alsa-user] USB soundcard advice

Thanks everyone who shared his thoughts. I think I'll get myself the M Audio transit. It seems to be an expensive deck of cards, but it sounds like the quality is good and I guess it's not easy to achieve that on that scale. For now I'll stick with my pc-headset (sennheiser), which can operate wi

Hi Clemens and everybody else, I just rebuilt my kernel activating CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TT_NEWSCHED as you suggested and I still get the same problem with the usual messages when the sound is messed-up and I try to play the next song ; [ 758.452549] usb 3-2: amarokapp timed out on ep0out len=0/0

Thanks for all replies so far! I'm reading information re all suggestions. Many seem very nice. I will use it with a laptop and I guess there's no need therefore to get a card with fancy features such as xlr or direct monitoring of the inputs. I basically want to be able to use a combination of

Hi there, I own a HiFi USB sound card based on a TI Burr-Brown chip. It worked out of the box with Linux on two of my machines. However, I have bought a new machine and now I still haven't found a way to make it play correctly. After a random amount of time, the sound gets garbled. This is p

[Alsa-user] USB soundcard advice

Hi all, I'd like some advice on a USB soundcard. The reason for getting one is that I'd like to have good quality sound on all the computers I use or will use. The quality should be good enough to allow speech recognition. Of course, that is possible to some extend with any soundcard, but if the q
