So why not consider the Terratec Aureon 5.1 USB MKII <http://www.terratec.NET/en/products/Aureon_5.1_USB_MK_II_2120.html> This is fully supported by the Linux included-in-the-kernel ALSA USB audio module <http://www.alsa-project.ORG/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-usb-audio>

Nice. Sold here in Germany for just 29 �, I think I'll get one too. BTW, be prepared to switch to a distribution which is optimized for low audio latency, like Ubuntu Studio.

Netbooks have been around for a while and you will notice that they only manage to come with a microphone input and headphones output. Nonetheless, if someone wishes to record anything on a computer then odds are that person won't use the computer's default line input. > There are tons of USB sound cards with line/mic inputs. Thanks for that information. Yet, do you know which "sound cards" work well and are fully supported on linux? That's sort of the gist of this thread. Rui Maciel

What about http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/UCG102.aspx ? Works with Linux too.

Why do you say that. I've recorded stuff on computers many times and never used anything other than microphone and line inputs. If you could explain your requiremenets a little more specifically than "sound input device", it would be a lot easier to help. If a standard soundcard/line-input isn't acceptible, what _are_ you looking for? Studio-quality 16-channel firewire-connected stuff? http://www.linuxtoday.com/infrastructure/2009110700635MMHW https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/FireWire_Recording -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
