Hello,
I'm looking for a sound card that can be used to speech recognition in
noisy environments. The best device that I found so far is
AndreaElectronics PureAudio USB-SA but unfortunately it isn't properly
supported in Linux. The device is recognized as an USB Audio device
(module used is snd_usb_audio) and I can record audio in Audacity. The
problem is that none of advanced DSP features is enabled.
I tried then Asus Xonar U1 but the problem is the same, no configuration
is done in devices, so they record audio without quality to be used in a
speech recognizer (not enough energy, audio DC components when software
gain is applied in Sound Preferences...).
Is there any way known way to configure a USB Audio device? If I have to
implement some code, where should I start?
I send you output of "lsusb" of AndreaElectronics USB-SA sound card.

Hello all,
I'm trying to use any USB sound card with some DSP processing that
allows a microphone array to capture audio and use in speech recognition
(mostly applied in noisy environments). The best device that I found so
far is AndreaElectronics PureAudio USB-SA but unfortunately it isn't
properly supported in Linux/Alsa. The device is recognized as an USB
Audio device (snd_usb_audio) and I can record audio in Audacity. The
problem is that none of DSP features is explicitly activated in USB
configuration so it works almost like any other microphone.
I then tried Asus Xonar U1 but the problem is the same, no configuration
is done in such devices, so they record audio without enough quality to
be used by a speech recognizer (not enough energy, audio DC components
when software gain is applied in Sound Preferences...).
Is there any way to configure an USB Audio device interfaces?
Here's the output of "lsusb" of AndreaElectronics USB-SA sound card.

Neither of these device has a DSP; any processing is done in software
in the Windows driver.
