[App_rpt-users] Question

Thu Sep 9 15:01:34 UTC 2010

Several vendors that were shipping cm1xx based devices are now substituting
devices that use the SSS1623 sound chip in the device.. They seem to work
under Linux native for CentOS.. so maybe easy to implement.. I am using them
in D-Star repeater service for GMSK
 They have very similar characteristics
to a C-Media device but do use a more generic driver..

If you would like samples of some of the ones i have obtained, 

thinking they were cm-108 based and they were not.....:(

i can send you a few for testing & evauation.

if it would make the fobs ezer to add since there seems to be a glut of the
"clones" out there.  

i have bought so many of these from the C.H.Ina co via the usual hong-knog
souces. 

i have a few so a wide and varried sample for testing is not a problem

they are just cluttering up the desk...

The CM-108 and its fully compatible cousins (all from C-Media) are still
very much
in production and available as far as the actual IC goes. As far as pre-made
USB soundcards
that use these IC's go, yes it is seemingly more difficult to find such
things. The CM-108
was selected, because, at the time, it was by far the most common IC found
in such devices
and was of EXTREMELY high quality, reliability, and consistency (not to
mention VERY good
value!). 

Nowadays, is there once again, a generalized consensus focused upon some
new, different,
IC, or are all the available (and inexpensive) USB sound cards pretty much
just random??
I haven't, nor have I had time to even look lately. If there is, perhaps it
would be worthwhile
to see if whatever this device is meets the requirements for this
application.

If there is something worth checking out, I am not adverse to doing so.
