    It might be worth getting a cheap Soundblaster card for your computer. Mint seems to have good support for all of them.

      It’s a laptop. Really I just need to buy a slightly newer interface. My old one was running in Windows 10 with a Windows 7 legacy driver. I haven’t been bit by the recording bug lately so it hasn’t mattered. I’ve been focusing on playing badly around campfires instead. Eventually I will get around to it. My list of hobbies is stupid long.

        Well if you’re still interested in updating your laptop, Soundblaster actually makes a sound card on a USB stick for less than $20 (Amazon). :)

          Right on. It’s mostly the 1/4" and XLR inputs that I need. I should have picked something up by now, I just haven’t. I’m sure Uli has something available that’ll talk to Linux.
