Hi,
I can't get RAT to work with the integrated HD audio chipset in some of our machines - listen works but talk doesn't. I was pretty much expecting this running on Linux (Ubuntu 7.10), partially since it's a known problem on Windows. I'm wondering if anyone has actually gotten these chipsets to work on any platform (is there any progress from SUMOVER as far as supporting them?)
The HD audio chipsets are something of a moving target and support for a particular chipset depends on the kernel version. The kernel version for 7.10 is 2.6.22-14. The release of Ubuntu 8.04 is imminent (24th April, I believe) and it currently uses kernel version 2.6.24-12 so many more chipsets will be supported. We have at least one machine whose audio chipset is not fully supported by 7.10 but already works correctly with 8.04 - maybe your chipset will be in this category. The 8.04 beta is available via:
http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/beta
AccessGrid packages for 8.04 are unofficially available at the usual place - see the instructions for gutsy and replace "gutsy" with "hardy".

and if not, what USB audio interfaces work well with RAT on linux? I've been looking at the Edirol UA-25 or 5, which are confirmed to work with the usb-audio module but I don't know whether RAT supports something like that. Anyone have any recommendations?
