Anybody know of a low-cost (used is fine) 2-in, 2-out USB audio interface that works great
with Linux? I don't really need mic or instrument inputs...I need line
inputs/outputs.
Bonus points for:
Bus powered interfaces
Box-shaped units with all I/O on the same panel (USB connection on the opposite panel is
fine)
Thanks,
James

I've used

for years. No problems.

Regarding that one: I recently tried to help a friend who was puzzled
that there was only one single entry in alsamixer, 'PCM', which
controls output volume. No controls for the headphone output or for the
inputs.
The inputs & outputs itself seemed to work normally with alsa though.
Is it normal for this device that there is only a single mixer control?

It's common that there are no software controls at all.

The headphone also has a hardware volume control. And there's a hardware

Thanks. I thought there would be at least another control for the
recording level. Even the cheapest onboard audio codecs have that. So I
thought it might be a driver issue or user error.
We see only one control labeled PCM in alsamixer. Maybe another user of
the UCA202 can confirm that this is all the device provides?

Can you provide a cap for 'low cost'? ;)

Try to get a Roland/Edirol UA 25 second hand. Apparently there are nor
more functional drivers for newer versions of OS X, so people start to
sell them again. No software mixer required, works great here on Debian
and has the options you ask for, and then some more.

i have a Roland/Edirol FA 66 which is basically the FireWire version of the UA
25. i can say it has worked very well with Linux for years.
however, as carting around an extra power brick and a delicate FireWire
ExpressCard can be difficult, perhaps the UA 25 is a more portable option. ju
st wondering how the USB 2.0 connection handles the multiple audio channel
possibilities of the UA 25 (seems to support 2 INs, 4 OUTs, MIDI IN/OUT and
digital IN/OUT)? personally i would only be using it at 48 kHz/24-bit.

As an owner of an UA-25 I can say that it works great. It's an USB1
device by the way. And it's discontinued, just like it's successor the
UA-25EX. It seems the Duo-Capture has replaced them and it's iPad
compatible so I reckon it will work with Linux.

There's also the ESI U24 XL. Not the cheapest but very compact for the
number connections it has. Has normal phono jacks for analog I/O and
optical and RCA S/PDIF in and out. I once had another variant of this
series (UGM96) and it worked perfectly on Linux and according to ESI's
website, so does the U24 XL.

Check.

Analog I/O is on one side, digital on the other.
