The question really is, will it work with your OS, in your case Linux. Not something I know the answer to off hand sadly. If i had to guessā€¦

The description mentions a driver for Mac that is required, which usually indicates the device is not class compliant and likely wonā€™t work. However one of the comments mentions that they didnā€™t use the driver and it just worked, so there is a chance that it is.

My guess is that it would, but that is only a guess, and canā€™t know without more information or without seeing it, sorry.

Hereā€™s some feedback for you: https://dgtlmoon.com/behringer-guitar-link-ubuntu-linux

Linux will discover it.

I simply did a web search on ā€œGuitar Link 4 Linux.ā€ Maybe you did that already and are still looking for someone whoā€™s done more than simply plug it in and run dmesg??

Thank you guys, Iā€™ve recieved it today and itā€™s plugged in.
Now I canā€™t seem to get it running at all, itā€™s being discovered via terminal but Jack, along with any other program wonā€™t find it.
It also doesnā€™t output from the speakers either. Iā€™m fairly new to Linux, especially with USB.

Iā€™ve done of all that and had mixed results, I still havenā€™t gotten any real playback from the guitar but Ardour did pick up a signal a few times, so far Iā€™m having troubles with;

1.Getting a realtime playback through an amp simulator (Iā€™ve tried guitarix and rakarrack)
2. Having jack pick up the USB in the connect window, Iā€™ve looked at various forums already and from what I can see itā€™s all well and good, all systems and connections, capture, link etc appear right

I installed the .exe drivers that came on the disc through wine and it worked perfectly apart from the horrible delay, I really donā€™t want to use wine though.
Thank you all for the help! Iā€™ve been so keen to start recording again

I have gotten the sound to work but Iā€™m having problems recording into ardour with rakkarack without xruns. Iā€™m going to say itā€™s because my computer has a single 3.05 processor and only 2GB of ram.
Also, when I use JACK there is a high pitched ring, is there any way to stop that?
Thanks for the help everyone :slight_smile:

xruns are not related to processor speed or RAM.
