Hello,
I have PIII-500 desktop computer. I plan to buy a recent laptop. I don't know what kind, Mac or PC. I would like to buy an external sound card too. To be able to use it on my desktop and on my laptop, I think the best choice is USB sound card, Firewire seems not to be compatible with Linux yet.
Is there any USB sound card compatible with both Mac and PC under Linux (does Alsa support PowerMac?)? I have read on internet that USB port add 4ms of latency. Is USB 2.0 better in latency than USB 1.0?
My sound card would be used essentially for full duplex recording, and sampling in live with software that I code or buy. Could someone give me name of good USB soundcard? Perhaps PCI sound card too if USB sound card is not good enough for latency.
Thanks.
