Hello, I would like to buy high-quality sound card for my laptop. There are no other requirements besides quality audio output, ExpressCard 34 or 54 form-factor and single 3.5mm TRS jack socket. Has anyone tested Echo "Indigo IOx ExpressCard" sound card under Linux(I mainly use Debian or Debian-based distributions)? According to indigoiox.c C source file in ALSA source tarball, Echo "Indigo IOx ExpressCard" seems to be supported. Any practical experience with this particular sound card under Linux? In addition, what sort of improvement I should expect compared to Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller? Or should I prefer some other high-quality sound card for ExpressCard slot? regards, Martin _______________________________________________ Consortium mailing list Consortium(a)lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/consortium

Ian, thank you for the reply! All I found from RME product line for ExpressCard is the HDSPe ExpressCard(http://www.rme-audio.de/en_products_hdspe_expresscard.php) adapter which seems to provide interface to external RME I/O-boxes like "Multiface II" or "Digiface". This setup would be bit overkill and nothing but compact. Last but not least, this would be too expensive. I would like to keep this ExpressCard sound card below 300$. Any other suggestions? I'm especially interested in experience with Echo "Indigo IOx ExpressCard" sound card in Linux environment. regards, Martin 2012/12/10 Ian Dunham <iandunham(a)gmail.com>om>:
