Linux Audio Recording: Anyone have any experience with it on Linux?

Check the FAQ at Audacity's website... you have to use ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) , it does work fine...

i'm running ubuntu and it works perfectly... nothing special needed to work... you may need to go to sound settings to make sure it's your default audio output.

I have only used it to record musical compositions, but you should be able to use it as a sound effect board. Just record the sound bites and files in an organized file system. There are many ways to do this, live recordings being the easiest, I'd imagine.

I have only used it with audio recording programs. In theory, it should work, but I wil want to see other responses.

I actually picked it up for just this purpose but I can't get it to work with my MacBook Pro. Its strange though, as it sees the microphone, but I cant record any audio with it. It could be that I've just got a setting wrong somewhere. Anyone have any suggestions?

Yeah, totally! You just need a mic obviously and some software. Audacity should work fine, which is free. Just plug this in to a USB port, plug the mic in, set everything up, and hit record.

Yes. I even tried it with the Raspberry Pi. S/PDIF I am unsure of. However, the included software is useless. Linux will automatically set it to 7.1 surround sound.

Not a silly question. I've heard stories that it can't be done or that it can only be done with certain sound cards, but nothing definitive. I'd ask the same question - can you listen while recording, either through the computer OR through the separate audio output simultaneously?

The unit definitely works well with Linux. I'm running a Mint (Mate) 17- 32 bit OS installed on an old DELL laptop, and the unit worked right out of the box. Never used or needed the driver disc. It is driving a 5.1 speaker system from Logitech.

The DAC works with windows as a Generic USB Audio device and runs driver less using the built in drivers in Windows 7. It may not be plug and play but installing the generic driver should work in Linux.

I use mine on a Linux machine, no problem so far; though I have not thoroughly put it through the paces.

I have not used this product to record as of yet. I used it to assist learning some choral music with previously recorded music that I transferred to SD. But now in curious and will test it out.

You can do it, but I haven't managed to get it to work. I'm not a technophobe, but I found the Audacity software very complex with so many audio options to control during recording that I gave up. I hope to get back to it at some point, but it's not plug & play. My two cents.

Yes it does, I'm using it with Linux and it does I must enabled in the sound system, so it most work for windows, you most enabled in the sound dusty.

I used this card in 32-bit Linux Slackware and Windows XP. In Linux, the driver took over the audio output and redirected the audio through the video cable. In XP, it works fine.

Can you please recommend me any recording software to use with this? I just don't know any! :-) Thanks!
