Linux Audio-Interface Compatibility

A list of audio interfaces that have been tested with Linux. Hopefully this will help some people answer the question of "does it work on Linux" before spending some money.

Allen & Heath XONE:K2

USB, 0 inputs, 4 outputs.

Behringer UCA222

USB, 2 inputs, 2 outputs.

Behringer UFO202

USB, 2 inputs, 2 outputs.

ESI UDJ6

USB, 0 inputs, 6 outputs.

The headphone output is incredibly loud. Turning down the volume with the ALSA mixer lowers the volume but not the noise floor, so you get a very noisy signal not really suited for use with headphones. Would work well for 6 hot signals going into an external mixer or such.

Native Instruments Audio 2

USB, 0 inputs, 4 outputs.

Native Instruments Audio 4 DJ

USB, 4 inputs, 4 outputs. Toggleable phono preamps on all inputs.

Set inputs to Phono: $ amixer -c [cardnumber] cset numid=1 0

Set inputs to Line: $ amixer -c [cardnumber] cset numid=1 1

Native Instruments Audio 6

USB, 6 inputs, 6 outputs. Toggleable phono preamps on 4 inputs. Togglable pass-thru on 4 inputs.

PASSTHRU on channel A: $ amixer -c T6 cset numid=1 on/(off)

PASSTHRU on channel B: $ amixer -c T6 cset numid=2 on/(off)

Switch PHONO/LINE on channel A: $ amixer -c T6 cset numid=3 on/(off)

Switch PHONO/LINE on channel B: $ amixer -c T6 cset numid=4 on/(off)
