Just my two cents about UA25EX:<br><br>I have a UA25EX as well and I'm quite happy with it. I use it with Musix 3.0 (Debian Squeeze) and it works out of the box. Even I use it on an UMPC (not as powerful as a PC) for realtime FX with jack configured at 256 buffer and no xruns.<br>
<br>Hope it helps.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/9/27 Fons Adriaensen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:fons@linuxaudio.org">fons@linuxaudio.org</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

</div>Learning to use tools such as lspci, lsusb, many others and<br>
in particular understanding what udev is doing (a lot on<br>
modern systems) and how to control it will help.<br>
<br>
That's IMO one advantage of a distro such as Arch: whenever<br>
you have some problem, the solution offered on the e.g. the<br>
Arch wiki or suggestions from other users usually gently<br>
force you to use the available tools and understand what is<br>
happenng rather than giving a 'shrink wrapped' solution.<br>
And after some time (and sweat and lapses of panic and<br>
desperation) that pays off.<br>
