I recently upgraded myself to an M-Audio Delta 44 and
positively love it. It includes a breakout box with
4in/4out and runs beautifully under debian (easy to
configure with a recent alsa). I use it in my
basement studio and feed several sound inputs through
a Yamaha MG 10/2 mixer ($100 new, if you shop around)
and it's a superb combo. Only thing missing is MIDI
but you don't sound like you it anyway. You can
usually pick up a Delta on ebay for under $100.
Best,

Hello,
I'm hoping to spend no more than $200 to get a sound
card that'll do
everything I need from it. It will function as the
center of the sound
system in my art gallery; I'd like to connect it to
a mixer via RCA. 2
output channels + headphone monitor would be ideal,
although I could
live with just two of the three. I do not need
digital, and I do not
need surround, although neither would hurt. I do
like the idea of an
external interface but that is not necessary.
I'm running Ubuntu 5.4, 2.6 kernel, etc etc. I don't
really have a lot
of time to spend futzing with compiling &
recompiling drivers; I'd like
something that is easily (& well) supported by ALSA
or some other
alternative.
I'd read a lot of good things about the M-Audio
cards -- which one if
so? Or would you spring for one of the SB Audigies?
Or other?
Thanks
Reuben
