So there are no known USB 2 audio cards that work with ALSA or OSS?
I don't know. ALSA's site might have a list.
I don't know OSS from a whole in the ground. I know it exists. I haven't
met a Linux distro in years that used OSS. I don't know if it's support
for USB2 audio hardware is any better than ALSA's, since the problem
seems to be uncooperative vendors intent on proprietary drivers ...
If your laptop allows it, I can recommend a
firewire-device like the
focusrite saffire pro24 which would do 4 analog inputs and 6 analog
outputs at 44kHz, 48kHz and 96kHz. And additionally has spdif io and
an adat input. And the price is somewhere around 300€.

Sounds like 96K output over USB is a no go then. On Sunday 03 October 2010 12:41:30 allcoms

Yah, my UCA202 can
do input or output @ 48KHz, but not both simultaneously.
Overloads the USB port. Hi
Seeing as we have the ability, we'd like to record and mix @ 96Khz but
my band mates internal laptop sound chipset can't do any better than
48Khz hence he can't use it for mixing and he's looking out for
something that'd work well with ALSA thats guaranteed to be able to
run JACK (at least for playback) at 24-bit/ 96Khz.
I am not so sure you will get
that many recommendations given that you
seem to need 96kHz.
The problem is that usb1.1 doesn't have enough bandwidth to do 96kHz, at
least not when there is two channels each for input and output. And usb2 didn't have an audio-standard for a long
time, so all devices use
their own protocol and therefor don't really have a linux-driver.
Actually, my
understanding is that there has been a USB2 audio standard for
quite a while, but no vendors have ever made a device compliant with it. >> If your laptop allows it, I can recommend a

I think the original poster said something about not having Firewire on
the laptop in question, and apparently not having a modern PC Card
connection available, either. I don't know about that. My old laptops
have plain old PC Card connections on them, and apparently there are
many Firewire PC Cards available.
I'm not the original poster. My 5-year-old low-budget Toshiba laptop
came with a Firewire port. As did the Sony Vaio Superslim Pro my wife
used to have. Don't know about modern stuff, I don't have any of that
around here!
