Hi,
Can anybody recommend a usb audio device with toslink spdif output
that works with alsa drivers? I need to add one to my pvr system as
its onboard toslink is not well supported.
My main criteria is price, and that the toslink optical spdif output
must work reliably, I would really like to get a device that also has
line-in connections which are output on the toslink, i.e. internally
mixed into the toslnk output.
I have found a few devices that might do the job:
Audiotrak MAYA EX
Behringer U-CONTROL UCA202
Voyetra Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro
M-Audio Transit USB
but it is hard to know if they are properly supported and work reliably.
Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Andy
I can tell you that the M-Audio Transit does not have an internal mixer.
You can route the line-in to the output in software if you don't mind a
bit of latency. I've never tried the optical output on that card, so I
can't tell you if it works or not.
