I'm using the 40 at home, works very well. At work we use a 24, also with Linux and that works great too. I recently did a presentation for Horus (http://horus.hku.nl/) for which I used the 24, no problems whatsoever, except for the minor bug that JACK will crash the first time you run it (known issue). DICE based devices won't work with a number of FireWire controllers though, like the onboard JMicron chipset of my notebook. So I bought a cheap PCIe Express Card with a Via chipset and that works quite well. You can check which controllers are compatible here: https://dev.tctechnologies.tc/tcat/tags/release/public/latest/docs/drv/DICE_OHCI_Blacklist.pdf Best, Jeremy _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
