Hi
A friend of mine is looking for an usb audio interface. It must work
without hassle under linux, and have an (at least decent) 48V input, and
at least one other microphone input (48V on this input would be nice,
but not necessary). 2 channel output would be enough. If the price
permits, more inputs (mainly for michrophone) would be great, but the
price is important.
What should I recommend him? My first idea was an edirol, but looking
over two large web-shops, I didn't see a single edirol usb-interface!

An old used M-Audio Mobilepre USB MIGHT seem to have the right price and
Performance ratio your friend asks for. It have 2 in (line and/or XLR) and 2
out adn more. The XLRs have 48V phantom power and the box have it's power from
the USB cable
I have one self that I use with an old LapTop and it works very well (at least
last time I tested it) without xruns.

Hello Atte,
That's because they've been rebranded to either 'Cakewalk by Roland' or
just Roland. The UA-25EX might still be a viable candidate:

That makes sense. I'll recommend that one, seems to fit the bill
exactly. Thanks!

How about these:
Yamaha/Steinberg CI1 (is that working under linux?)
Yamaha Audiogram 3 (google suggests it's working under linux)

From the user manual:
General Specifications
USB Terminal USB1.1, 44.1/48 kHz, 24bit, bus-powered
Yamaha Audiogram 3 (google suggests it's working
under linux)
From the Yamaha site:
General Specifications
Sampling Frequency Rate USB AUDIO 1.1, 16bit/44.1kHz
So both devices are most probably class-compliant USB1.1 devices that
should work out of the box.

Hi Atte.
I have an Edirol (Cakewalk/Roland) UA25EX and it i'm quite happy with
it, on Linux, Musix 2.0 indeed. For the price I think it's one of the
best choices.
Just some rare behaviour when running it on 96k, I couldn't record.
(You have to also know that you can't go full duplex at that rate:
record or play).
I tried to get some time to solve this and post it here and in Ardour
or Alsa list, but dailly life got me busy again.
My two cents.

The UA-25EX is a class-compliant USB1.1 device and works with Linux.

Hi
I have a Cakewalk UA-1G and it's working fine, no midi though (got a
cheap 8€ chinese usb adapter for that).
It's way cheaper than the UA25EX.
It has an high-Z instrument input (guitar and bass) switchable to mic
and RCA stereo line inputs, Line out and headphones out + SPDIF
(optical) in and out.

I looked at at it but it seems it doesn't have phantom power, right? How
about zero-latency monitoring, is that available, with adjustable mix
and option to have recorded signal monitored as mono (so appearing in
both left and right channel)?

Hi Atte,
No it doesn't have phantom power. It has zero latency monitoring (I
use it on a daily basis) and it can be enabled/disabled on the back
via the dip-switches panel. Now having said that it's a bit of pain to
enable/disable it since you need something pointy to reach the tiny
dip-switch. Not sure about the mono to dual mono thing I'd have to
check later, but couldn't something like this simply be accomplished
by connecting a single input to the 2 left and right outputs via
jackd?
Also another thing to take notice about this USB device is that it is
only configurable via the on-board hardware(it's an advantage for me),
i.e. sampling rate (needs a device dis/re/connection), monitoring,
digital vs analog inputs, input/output levels.
It won't do 96KHz for both playback and recording and again you'll
have to use the dip-switches on the back to select the 96KHz mode. Up
to 48KHz there is no such limitation, full duplex audio operation.
I hope that sums it up.
Cheers,
-Giuseppe

I don't think so. At least the zero-latency monitoring on my card never
reaches jack, it's simply a matter of mixing the output of the soundcard
(that's generated from the computer) with the input *in hardware* on the
card. If it has been passed through jack it wouldn't be zero-latency, I
guess...

So I just went checking for dual mono output from a single mono input
signal and it's working for the instrument input (in both guitar and
mic settings). It doesn't work for the stereo line level input.
Direct monitoring works on all of the of the inputs available on the unit.
