NOTE: THIS PAGE IS OUTDATED. THE JACKTRIP BRIDGE DEVICE HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED AND REPLACED BY THE DESKTOP APP, WHICH DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY SPECIAL HARDWARE. PLEASE USE THAT INSTEAD.
Whether using a pre-made JackTrip Digital Bridge, or building your own, you'll need to use a compatible USB audio device.
Our software is compatible with most USB audio interfaces that are supported by the Linux ALSA project. However, different audio devices have different controls, quirks, and levels of software control. We couldn't possibly test them all!
This page is a community resource summarizing the devices that have tested so far. Many other devices are compatible, they just have not been tested!
