What makes you say the M-Audio stuff is cheap sounding? I've tested it extensively, right next to almost everything else that does 24/96, and it sounds nearly identical....measures that way, too, with an Audio Precision workstation. I've had no problems with my Delta 1010 under Linux.<br>

</div>Well, given my experience so far under Linux, maybe switching back to<br>
Windows isn't such a bad idea after all. Maybe I'd finally get some<br>
music made. Of course, if these are hardware issues, I can't really<br>
blame Linux for that. I can blame Linux for its lack of direction and<br>
major fragmentation, but that's just me being a cynic.<br>
<br>
There has to be something that works well under Linux that isn't M-Audio<br>
mediocrity. If the only choices are M-Audio (cheap, and sounds like it)<br>
and RME (way too expensive), then I think I'd rather spend my money on<br>
good software that will help me make music.<br>
