I'm with you on this Rob. It's frustrating! It seems like the combination of 1) "reasonably priced", 2) "industrial grade", and 3) "works with Linux" audio devices have become unicorns.
I used to install the Digigram VX222 (PCI) and VX222e (PCIe), but Digigram recently made a hardware modification that has rendered this card unusable on Linux (even with a vendor-provided, updated driver). The most significant problem I have experienced is finding an audio device with balanced inputs and outputs. My current solution, though less than ideal, is the ASUS Xonar devices and a matchbox (StudioHub, Henry Engineering, Angry Audio, etc.) to handle the balanced/unbalanced conversion. What are others doing? ~David Klann On Wed, 2019-08-21 at 08:52 -0400, Rob Landry wrote: > On Monday morning a direct lightning hit to the building where two of our > stations have their studios took out several thousand dollars worth of > equipment, including the ASI sound cards in the Rivendell playout systems > for the two stations.
