If possible, take your laptop to your dealer and test. You can set up ALSA's module conf in advance, so you won't need to configure anything in the shop. I'm recommending this, because I my tests I've found, that the pairing of USB sound device, laptop hardware and low latency/Jack is very sensitive. As you already have a midi device, you can use a USB soundcard without Midi (most don't have midi anyways). Some inexpensive devices I'd recommend to check out include the similar looking Terratec Aureon USB, Audiotrak USB EX, 7.1 EX or 44. The cheapest solution would be the Audiotrak Optoplay, which is well supported, but a bit minimalistic (no recording). Make sure you do run jackd over USB with 48 kHz, too. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
