[linux-audio-user] USB 1.1 soundcard

Frank Barknechts Tastatur gab folgendes zu Protokoll ;-) :


> It is true. USB1 can do up do 8 channels of 44.1kHz/16bit

I can't belive that. When I watch my USB camera transferring 
pictures to my notebook, I'd never expect to be able to 
transport 8 channels simultaneously to the box.

So, I really can use my USB 1.1-bus to use it in conjunction 
with a full duplex stereo in stereo out card? I can't believe 
that - and I guess, I'm going to try it out ;-) .

On the official Edirol page, I didn't find it. Otherwise, I'm 
not stuck on Edirol.

Ah, I remember; nice to hear.

Hmmm. I meanwhile use a Gentoo installation, and hotplug isn't 
really preconfigured well, so manual adjustment will be 
necessary, and I'm not that experienced so I would spend a 
whole afternoon in the shop ;-) . Anyway, I'd include a 7 
days monex back guarantee with the dealer.

Yes, I've already been on the Thomann store today in the 
afternoon :) .

I also didn't find the correct word, dict.leo.org has failed 
today :) .

OK, you're right of course.

Hm, I also think about the many adapters I will need, and 
adapters are very expensive. My mixer has symmetrical 
'Klinke' outputs. Cinch have no possibility to shield the 
cable, so I'll try to get a 'Klinke' one.


Thanks a lot for your hints. I'll have a look (I already have 
seen that there are lots of USB cards out there), and as soon 
I have found one I'd politely ask you if you can tell me 
something about it, if you agree ;-) .


 Best regards
