I am looking for USB audio and MIDI hardware for which Linux drivers are
available.
Does anyone here have experiences with Creative Labs Soundblaster Audigy 2
NX or their Extigy box?
Thanks,
Andreas

My required features:
- USB
- should not cost more than about 150 Euro
- two channel analog audio I/O
- Windows 2000 drivers should also be avalable :-)
Optional:
- MIDI In/Out
- 5.1 audio out

With these specs, I'd suggest an Edirol UA-1A:
<http://www.netzmarkt.de/thomann/artikel-150893.html> or UA-1X:
<http://www.netzmarkt.de/thomann/artikel-165708.html>.
Optional:
- MIDI In/Out
Usually, 'consumer' devices don't have MIDI. Maybe you should get
both a USB audio and a USB MIDI interface. (All USB MIDI interfaces
from ESI, Edirol, and Midiman are supported by ALSA.)
- 5.1 audio out
5.1 over USB is tricky because of the relatively low USB 1.1 bandwith.
The Extigy can play AC3 data, but _not_ with the ALSA driver. I don't
know if it can handle uncompressed 6-channel data.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think I will choose a UA-1X.
I have seen that you made the entry for UA-1A at
http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=1257 but there is no entry for
the UA-1X. Presumeably only the ID is different.
Cheers,
Andreas

I just got the Edirol UA-1X. I plugged it in and - it works!

no, it can't. it seems that the device receives an ADPCM-like
compression format.
