<P><FONT size=2>moin David, moin list,<BR><BR>Nope, I had no problems at all with the UA-25: in "basic mode" (44k,<BR>16bit, no MIDI), it works "out of the box". In "Advance mode" (44|48k<BR>duplex, 96k simplex, or anything involving MIDI) I've been using the<BR>ALSA plugin layer (probably related to the fact that in this mode the<BR>device uses 24 bit samples), and have had problems with OSS emulation<BR>(these might have been just MIDI-related; I can check if it's critical<BR>to you), but running pd with '-rt -alsa' or using jack works like a<BR>charm. Sound quality is quite good: the ua-25 makes the onboard chip<BR>(intel i8x0) on my laptop sound like an RCA-Victor from ca. 1927;<BR>subjectively, I'd say it's comparable to the ICE1712 pci card in my<BR>desktop. Also, I personally love having the mixer elements in hardware:<BR>fewer windows cluttering up my workspace ;-)<BR><BR>marmosets,<BR> Bryan<BR><BR>ps - there's a very good howto for the ua-25 under linux using alsa on<BR>the alsa wiki:<BR><BR> <A href="http://alsa.opensrc.org/Edirol_UA-25">http://alsa.opensrc.org/Edirol_UA-25</A><BR><BR>On 2007-05-04 16:57:49, "David F.
