Moin,

my notebook, that run with Linux, have only a mono input channel. I’m  
looking  
for a external (USB 1.1 or 2.0) soundcard with a stereo input, that run  
fine  
with linux.  
Any hint?

## Thanks

Most of them work. To be absolutely sure, go to shop and ask them to  
unpack, and plug it in your laptop. I’m using a

Was plug and play under ubuntu.

BTW, there are a lot of linuxen. Specifying distro will narrow things  
down.

Tschussie!
