Hi everyone, a while ago I asked for recommendations for external sound cards. Johannes Wiedersich wrote: > The input quality of my laptop's sound card is horrible.

I finally settled for the Terratec Phase 26 and use it on debian etch, kernel 2.6.17-2-686; alsa-base 1.0.13-2. Output sound quality is superb, matching my high endish cd-player on my 4-digit-Euros amp. There are some issues getting the input to work in stereo and getting it recognized by audacity. I will post these in another thread. Johannes ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
