Hello everybody!
My name is andrea from italy.
I’m just new here,
I’would like to know wicth digital audio interface will work better on ardour, with ubuntu i tried with the focusrite saffire but i gived up.
may someone suggest me a few examples about what should I buy?
thanks a lot!
I have used the M-Audio Fast Track USB and The M-Audio Delta 1010LT PCI card. Both are well supported in the linux world.
and rme multifaceII , but not the firewire-cards, works out of the box…
so the best thing is the pci way?
what about 001 dididesign?
Digi stuff does not work under linux.
You cut a lot of the middle man out with Delta 1010LT PCI cards. You can finds these on Ebay for less than $150 US.
If money is no object than the RME stuff is nice and well supported.
Chck out this link here.

This will give a list of supported sound devices within linux and a great overview of audio in linux in general.
Edirol FA 101 full supported by ffado works fine even with a Yamaha Motif rack ES connected to the FA101’s optical, also this digital audio interface is connected to a pci firewire card with a Texas Instruments chipset!
Yes if you go with a firewire device make sure your firewire controller is the Texas Instruments Chipset.
Do not use VIA.
PCI and Firewire are no the only way, I use a fast track pro USB interface from M-Audio with great success
