Is there a reasonably-priced USB card with stereo Line
input that works in Linux?
I recently needed to buy one as the second sound card on
a Dell tower running wheezy. A local store which fortunately has
a good return policy sold me a SoundBlaster XG5 which looked like
an excellent possibility until I discovered that it is so
specialized for the gaming market that the only analog audio
input is mono and microphone level to boot. It is a beautiful
device and does have Line in and Line out but they are optical.
Very neat but not what I could use.
Back it went and they were very nice, only asking if it was
broken and not giving me any trouble when I said that it didn't
appear to be broken but would not work for the intended use.
I ordered a FIIO Q1 which is advertised as a portable DAC
and headphone amp. I think the person who recommended it to me
forgot that I needed recording capability and so it
arrived, sounds wonderful, but no recording capability. I'll keep
it because it is not useless, but I wouldn't have bought it had I
known it is another limited-appeal product.
What I am doing is recording audio from two scanner
radios so even a medioker sound card would probably be quite
sufficient but capture capability is an absolute must.
Is what I am looking for that rare these days?
Thanks for any pointers on how to craft lawyerly search language
that will land on USB sound cards that also record line-level
audio in stereo.
Many thanks.
