I have the M-Audio FastTrack Pro and that doesn't need external drivers. In general, if there are linux drivers offered then I'd be suspicious! Much better if the things Ailo mentions support it natively.
Ailo: on my fasttrack pro I've always had the issue that it presents as two separate devices, so I have four outputs but I can only use two at once. Did you have that issue, and did you do anything about it? Dan 2010/10/8 ailo <[email protected]>: > In Linux you don't need to install any external drivers.
