I've been very satisfied with RME PCMCIA + Multiface (yes, a dinosaur, I
actually don't use it so much since I got a newer laptop that does not have
a PCMCIA slot). Also, the PCI version of RME (HDSP) with Multiface II has
been very good to me. In the past, I used M-Audio Delta 44 (PCI) and now
also own PreSonus AudioBox USB that I am somewhat satisfied with. The
latter two are not really pro... The PreSonus generates some faint
glitches, I presume influences by the GPU (it mostly happens when I move
windows around or other things that cause screen redraws. Probably some IRQ
issue or MoBo or something (it's a laptop...). Moreover, the PreSonus
AudioBox USB is a stereo card. I recently purchased PreSonus AudioBox VSL
44 (USB 4 I/O) but they don't work with Linux out of the box and I did not
make it to work so returned it. I've had luch with Edirol and PreSonus
firewire devices but it seems to be a moving target because in some
situation it was a pain to make FW interfaces work. Also, they did not
behave very well with Jack.
The company I work at has purchased recently RME MADI but we also got a Mac
so I am not sure if I will be able to test those on Linux, although I am
very inclined to do so.

Hi Tim!
We've had countless threads on this here and on the LinuxMusicians forum
and I can summarise it like so:
Buy RME stuff if you've got the money. Focusrite are the best supported
Firewire devices although to be honest I can't recommend going down that
route (Firewire/FFADO) as its pretty much a dead interface.
If you want a USB device, RME do a class-compliant device that SHOULD work
but its pricey and I haven't heard of anyone confirming JACK likes it yet
but there is also the audiobox 1818vsl and the Focusrite Scarlett USB 2.0
devices which are known to work under Linoox if you're working on a smaller
budget.

Hi,
Does anyone have a recommendation for a professional quality soundcard
that runs on Linux Ubuntu (from version 10 onwards)?
Don't want to commit to a card and then find out it doesn't work!
Thanks
Tim
