Hey guys,

does anyone have a recommendation for a PCI soundcard with 4-6 ins/outs, 24Bit/96kHz, that runs on Linux without any problems? I find it very hard to find something that is not reported to have any flaws or problems.

Thanks.

Hi!

Have you already checked some M-Audio packages?
The Delta series is quite old and maybe someone developed good audio drivers for it.
E-Mu is good too, but maybe you'll have some troubles to find drivers for it.
I think that as you go deep into the high tag of soundcards you'll find a lot of problems to make it running on Linux, as they are very dependet from their software drivers.

Regards

Yes, I checked out pretty much all the major manufacturers, but you always find reports about one thing or the other not working properly. I figured there might be at least one specific card that works as it is supposed to. I guess I just have to try out a few and see what works best. Maybe even go Firewire.

Hi!

Well, the FW way sounds even more difficult to me...
I guess it needs more specific drivers, to support the proper FW comunication...
BTW, I hope you the best with sound cards under Linux, that's why I choose Mac Laughing

The RME Hammerfall series is very highly recommended.
