Hello
Does anyone know of a usb sound card that has a digital input. It also needs to be linux compatible and not very expensive.
Help appreciated.
Thanks

There are literally hundreds of USB soundcards with digital input. Have you actually looked anywhere before asking here, or did you mistake this forum for google?
Hello InspectorGadget
Brilliant, I would be pleased to see any example, run on linux, digital audio in to soundcard and usb input to PC.
There are countless products with this capability🙄. At this point it is almost difficult to find a USB interface that is not USB class compliant unless you get in to really high channel counts and/or more complicated AVB interfaces.
I've personally used MOTU Ultralite Mk5, Okto dac8 pro, Focusrite 18i20, miniDSP USBstreamer, miniDSP MCHstreamer on linux.

Hello Michael
All interesting but all expensive. I can get one for windows for about £15 but I need linux. I could go to about £35. But not much more.
Any ideas
This one is in that price range -> https://www.amazon.com/LEAGY-External-Sound-Card-8-Channel/dp/B07VSHCGWD although it is limited to 16 bit. There is some discussion of it in this thread -> https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...lladsp-set-up-instructions-for-newbies.30830/.

Still waiting with interest InspectorGagdet. Needs to be usb sound card that has a digital input. It also needs to be linux compatible and not very expensive.
I never found one - I went with a Creative PCI-e. Lots of them have digital OUTPUT though.
Also, your reply is not helpful at all... In the time it took you to troll this thread with the "why not use Google", you could have provided useful information. Just saying.
Thanks Michael, The first is unfortunately windows only but the next looks promising. Thanks
I mean you didn’t even post your actual price range until your third post. And have not posted any other requirements such as supported bit depth and sample rate. Pretty hard to help when you don’t give us any actual info and there are so many products out there.
To me ~$100 is not very expensive for a miniDSP USBStreamer that supports a wide variety of bit depths / sample rates and can also do ADAT which is highly useful for multichannel digital I/O. But I guess that is out of your price range. As mentioned that Leagy works with Linux and is in your price range.

What is so special about Linux compatibility? Doesn't Linux have an ASIO compatible driver, that's all you need, no?

It wasnt meant to be helpful. There was essentially no question posed. As Michael said, no budget, very slim detail. Any reply likely to be met with, 'thats too expensive and doesnt meet objective C which I hadnt mentioned yet.
ASIO doesn't exist on Linux. That's a Windows thing.
On linux, direct access to HW is provided by ALSA or Pipewire.
You're joking or?
"Does anyone know of a usb sound card that has a digital input. It also needs to be linux compatible and not very expensive."
Seems like a perfectly valid question to me dude. Your reply was not helpful and not necessary IMHO. Didn't your mother tech you "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"? 😛
Gee, thanks for copy pasting that for me. That made it so much clearer and likely to return a succinct answer, saying it again.
