@th3j35t3r does CoSo Call do video chat? How’s the latency? There’s plenty of musicians around here for a jam session/open stage.

@CanisPundit
Web chat platforms generally do not have low enough latency for remote ensemble performance. You need a specialized solution like jacktrip.com for that, and everyone should be on wired ethernet, using high quality external audio interfaces with direct kernel data streaming and wired headphones.

Thank you @voltronic! I’ve seen those web solutions. I was wondering about something CoSo-centric.

Any suggestions for such an audio interface that would play nice with Linux Mint (Ubuntu based)?

@CanisPundit
You just touched on one of the reasons I still use Windows: Pretty much none of these have native Linux support. Many of these devices are class-compliant, but you may only have partial functionality compared to running on Win or Mac. You'll need to use JACK for low-latency performance. More info:

My recommendation for a great inexpensive interface is MOTU M2. Again, no official Linux support but some have gotten it to work.

@th3j35t3r

@voltronic thanks for the tips. I use a Prosonus AudioBox with Windows, but have an old desktop that would be a great Linux box, but haven’t dug to deep as I’ve seen what you described; no perfect turnkey solutions for hobbyists.

@CanisPundit
I know that one. The MOTU and Focusrite interfaces, even the cheaper lines, have far better performance. But the struggles of getting any of them to function fully on Linux remain.
