Thanks to the USB specification, pretty much anything that is simple (e.g. mic. input, headphone and line output) should Just Work. If you are looking for 5.1 surround sound with fancy effects, then you'll have to just search for "<sound card model number> <your linux distro>" and see what comes up. This is the one I have, and it is great if you have some nice headphones (and need a portable headphone amp,) but otherwise, you could get something comparable in ease of use for much less money: http://www.headphone.com/products/headphone-amps/the-mobile-line/headroom-total-bithead.php However, it is a good example of something just working when you plug it in. It has a very standard USB audio interface, and so should most other choices. -Mark C. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
