Subject: stable I/O SYNCH audio card devices on linux From: Salvador Aguinaga <salvador.aguinaga@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2010 13:28:06 -0500 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--0016363b8c363c003c0491058a6e Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hello, My lab has tested the Echo Layla3G extensively on Linux for the past 9 months or more and we think we are seeing issue with synchronization. We are considering other cards, but I want to ask you all if you've work with Linux (any flavor) and any multi-ch i/o card where I/O synchronization is stable for research purposes? I'm going to now try the CardDeluxe and will let you know what we find. On this list the only entry I found was the RME Multiface sound cards: http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind1002D&L=AUDITORY&P=R1104&I=-3 *From:* Christian Borss <[log in to unmask] <http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LOGON=A2%3Dind1002D%26L%3DAUDITORY%26P%3DR1104%26I%3D-3>>*Subject:* Re: need recommendation on PC sound card*In-Reply-To:* <[log in to unmask] <http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LOGON=A2%3Dind1002D%26L%3DAUDITORY%26P%3DR1104%26I%3D-3>>*Content-Type:* text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1*Content-Disposition:* inline > > > Am 21.

That depends on your - system architecture - operating system - number of input/output channels - kind of interfaces (analog/digital...) - budget - ... .

A sound card shouldn't require a special SDK. Instead, use one of the sound APIs of your operating system. If you are using Linux, use ALSA[2] </p><div><br></div></pre></span></blockquote><div><br></div><div>=A0</div><= div>// Sal Aguinaga</div><div>// Staff HW/SW Engineer=A0</div><div>// North= western University</div><div><br></div> --0016363b8c363c003c0491058a6e--
