Re: Best sound card to buy?
Whatever card you choose, you'll want to make sure it is supported under ALSA (the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture). There's a list on their wiki (although it needs to be updated) of cards known to work well with Linux. It's at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Alsa_ ... Soundcards. If you have the money, the RME cards are professional grade. The M-audio Delta series cards are above consumer grade), and much more affordable. I have a Delta 66 with the Omni Studio breakout box (4 analogue inputs with 2 built in pre's and 2 digital in's) that I picked up on ebay for seventy bucks. It works like a champ.

I have an Alesis Multimix 4 USB that works well under linux. It was the only thing I could afford. Don't buy it, my experience has not been good with it. It works great under linux but it's not a good interface.

Re: Best sound card to buy?
If you have a PCI-Slot, I would also suggest the M-audio Delta series. Never heard of much trouble with them when you work with jack. On Ubuntu/Pulse there might be a small bug, but nothing serious.
But does anyone know a similar card for PCIe?

I own an M-audio too (the fastrack series), and works perfectly..never looked for a PCI-e card, i prefer external ones so i can connect it to more computers.

It was quite convenient and offers enough for homerecording.
Looking forward to look back what happens now
