Not so in my case. Both OS and device same as You describe. Yes, I have playback on 1 and 2 outputs, but outputs 3 and 4 are unaccessible and I cannot record. So the devise becomes almost useless on ubuntu.

I had a similar experience when I plugged in my Zoom H4 audio recorder/interface. I just need to work out how I get Linux to work at 44.1KHz rather than up-shifting to 48KHz.

USB audio seems generally well supported these days, but as people have said you may need extra software to use special features.

Thanks for the comments…

I can’t answer about the quality and features, because I only installed it. It’s not mine… Sorry.

Nice! Might influence my future purchases (currently I’m considering M-Audio Firewire Solo). Are all card features working as expected?

“Don’t you wonder why some operating systems ask you to install the driver from a CD?” Perhaps you should try newer than 5+ years old one? The newest ones fetch drivers automatically from the internet to the previously unknown devices. No need for CDs.

Well, that was one impressive HowTo

Still, with it being a USB device, and me having bad experiences with those: can you tell us a bit about lag with this one?

I mean, if you connect some midi keyboard and record some tracks, how’s it? And audio? Would be cool to know more about ongoing development here…

Really, there is a Step2 missing:

and thats why there is a driver needed in Windows.
Cause the main functionality is also present in Windows without needing a driver. – As with all USB Sound hardware -
the driver in Windows is needed for adjusting the latency and number of channels.
Because as the card is only USB1, it can’t provide 4 channels at 96Khz.
so if you like recording or playback at 96 Khz you got to turn off 2 channels.

already acomplished that in Ubuntu?
I’ve not tried that yet…
