Hello Dale.
I have a Sabrant USB-SND8.
It works out of the box on Linux.
The only "problem" I have with this interface:
there could be a strong click while switching on
the interface when it's connected to power amps;
so make sure your amps have good pop filters,
or mute them before powering the interface.
I can't comment much on its sound quality,
but I use it to listen to multichannel audio
at normal domestic levels, and it's fine.
Just don't expect professional quality.
At the price it's worth a try.

Hi all.
I was wondering if anybody has any light they can shine on
compatability of either of these two external, USB audio interfaces:
Sabrent USB-SND8

Vantec USB External 7.1 Channel Audio Adapter

I am currently travelling in India with nothing but the onboard sound
of my laptop and would like to get something with 4 channel (2 stereo
pair) outputs, at least for use with Mixxx. These both are available
at a reasonable price through Amazon India...
It's been hard to find much online, and what I have seen has been
slightly contradictory (plus it can be painful trying to search and
read posts when the internet is quite as interminable as it can be
here!) Any experiences, or even any better searching ability and
summarisation of the findings, would be very much appreciated.
Regards, Dale.
