Re: linux compatible USB Audio Interface

[jwind <wind@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

just for completeness:
after checking out the scarlett 18i8 with another system (a dual-core-netbook)
i have some not so nice drop-outs in playback, which not seem to be related
to any latency settings. (-
tried to debug a bit, but could not find any errors in kernel- or device logs;
does anyone know a good practice how to filter this?
thanks james for that hint.

Interesting! I'm also loking  for a USB 2 interface and the KA6 seems to fit my needs. It is advertised as being capable of very low latencies. Did you have any experience of this on linux ?

I have a 2i4 - it only has 2 inputs though (as the name suggests). It
is an excellent device overall, but I have been having some serious
teething troubles with kernel releases over 3.5. I am providing bug
reports to the kernel devs and these problems (not being able to start
at low latencies, audio system locking up) seem to be slowly being
addressed, but performance is not quite there yet for me, and I would
suggest if you decided to get one of these devices, and are affected
by these bugs, you might experience less pain using the earlier 3.5
series kernels for now. I think that this problem is not just limited
to the scarlett devices, and that other USB audio devices may be
similarly affected. Also, I think these issues may also be
USB-hardware (or BIOS?) dependent, so some people with the same kernel
and audio device may not experience the same bugs.
