I haven't tried it but have heard reports that it works with the clockport version, but you need at least an 040 to play audio smoothly.

Yes I tried very cheap soundcard (5 EUR) and also other stuff and it works fine. Check my review: http://jack.untergrund.net/2016/07/15/test-of-three-zorro-usb-cards-for-amiga-en/

Will soon.  I have a $3 USB 3D sound card from eBay I bought forever ago.  Works perfectly fine on the Deneb, I cannot imagine it won't work on the RapidRoad.

Most of the cheap ones I see are pretty generic.  The one I have I remember now that I actually picked it up from my local vendor on a lark and was surprised it worked.  The unit identifies in Trident as manufactured by "JMTek, LLC.", vendor 0x0c76, product 0x1607.

The one I have looks identical to that (blue,) minus the disco laser lights.

Are you in Winnipeg?  Too bad I didn't see this earlier, I have one or two I could have offered...

Yup, in Winnipeg. Right now tracking shows my rapid road on its way to Toronto woohoo. Whats your rig? What can be done with usb audio, just music play back? From what I read it still puts a pretty heavy load on 040 for mp3 playback.. Be neat anyhow to check out.

Haven't really tried USB audio on my Amigas, to be honest, and likely won't as I sold my Subway and Deneb cards to other forum members last year.  The USB audio cards were bought for a project involving a Bearcat BC875XLT radio scanner and a Raspberry Pi that I never got around to doing (and probably won't).

Honestly, you are not missing anything by not using one. They are quite bad and more of just a novelty.

Meh, to each his own.  For the $1.50 it's not just a bragging right for me, it actually sounds quite nice.  The 060 uses AHI handily and I found the system seems less jerky when playing AMPlifier through the USB sound card versus the hi-res Paula driver.

Well Chief, sometimes it's nice to know what I am missing, even if it doesn't sound very much.

Personally I just think USB is a good idea gone horribly wrong, so obviously I'm prejuduced about the whole idea. I have to admit though, USB sound cards are one way to sample analogue data on a Raspberry PI, so clearly they are useful for doing some things.

Well never the less I cant wait to get it and see how it works out on my rig. everything is in the hands of the post man now so its just a waiting game for my rapid road and the usb audio.. I ordered all 3 now just to check out .. why not.. its all nickels and dimes.
And right, to each there own.. who knows maybe it will work alright with the a3640 and I might have some fun! Can you sample with it? I remember back in the 90's I had audio master 4 sampler and would rip songs off cds to mess around. Would I be able to do something like that? Would be alright in my humble opinion lol
