From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: tell@cs.unc.edu (Stephen Tell) Date: Sat, 27 May 2000 00:23:26 +0000 Subject: PCMCIA or USB "soundcards"? Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-sound@vger.kernel.org Are there any PCMCIA or USB digital audio record/playback devices (i.e. soundcards) that have linux drivers available? I would like to do some digital recording in the field using my Thinkpad 600E, but the 1/8" mic/line audio-in jack is sufficiently loose that reliable connections are impossible, and I've got some reservations about the onboard A/D and D/A quality. The results of the recording session might end up on a CD, so sound quality does matter. It seems to me that a USB-attached box with studio-grade A/D converters would be a nice niche product - does one exist yet? If I had time, I'd build one...
