I have the mobile pre (old one, but not the oldest one). It just works. USB compliant, at least for USB 1.x standards. i.e. 2 channels input, 16 bit, 48kHz max. The gray one with buttons on front, and pretty much any analog connection type known to man. Although the line input (3.5mm) does not provide the plug in power for cheap-ish / camcorder type mics. And the phantom power is known to be a bit under volt, but good enough for most mics IMO. Worked out of the box for me. But there is some wonkyness in Debian Lenny(5.0) with freezes (wasn't an issue in sarge). But then again mine is old enough that the blue LED light comes and goes. And I'm running the distro supplied kernel 2.6.26. As some of the changes in the current version of things makes it a lot more difficult to run a custom kernel. At least with old school ways and a working config from a previous install. I may upgrade to 6.0 as soon as some of my current projects are wrapped up. But for $80 off of craigslist, I'm not complaining. - James On 3/15/11, Jonathan Wilkes <jancsika@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive USB audio interface that will > work (painlessly) on a laptop running Gnewsense, which would basically > mean either Hardy or Squeeze.
