This page lists hardware known to work or not work with Jamulus (although it may vary between Windows, Mac and Linux). Please update with any new information you have (and indicate the platform(s) you have used).

Known to Work with Jamulus

  • Ammoon AGM02 and AGM04 USB mixer: relatively inexpensive 4 channel USB mixers, both tested on MacOS Catalina, the AGM02 tested on Windows 10. On Windows 10, with ASIO4ALL, the AGM02 canbe used as an input, and the onboard audio as the output. There is no way monitor only the USB return signal on the AGM02. (USB Audio) Note: The Ammoon AGM04 appears to be a re-branded ART USBMix4.

  • Behringer UCA222 & UCA202 U-Control (USB audio) Note: Works best on Mac and Linux. On Windows, ASIO4ALL driver works OK but not great. There is also the native driver which Behringer withdrew support for a while ago, and therefore removed from their download section.

  • Behringer UMC202HD, UMC204HD, and UMC404HD interfaces, Windows 7 to 10 ASIO Driver (USB Audio)

  • Behringer X32 digital mixer with X-USB 32-in/32out (USB audio)

  • Behringer XENYX 302USB (USB audio) Behringer ASIO Driver

  • Behringer XENYX Q502USB (USB audio) Behringer ASIO Driver

  • Behringer XENYX Q802USB (USB audio) Behringer ASIO Driver

  • Behringer XR18/XR16/XR12 digital mixers (USB Audio)

  • Focusrite Scarlett interfaces (USB Audio) Note: if you have issues with the buffer size going to 136 download the updated driver version 4.64.15.598 from http://beta.focusrite.com/

  • Focusrite Clarett 4Pre interface (Thunderbolt 2)

  • Lexicon Omega (USB audio) Note: Works best on Mac and Linux. There is a driver for Windows but this does not allow to use 64 samples buffer size and adds some latency compared to, e.g., the Mac driver.

  • Line 6 Helix Stomp, read Remote Jamming with Helix and Jamulus for setup on a Mac. (USB Audio)

  • Native Instruments Komplete Audio 2, Tested on Win10 with 64 sample buffer and am getting great sound and total latency around 15ms over the ping time. (USB Audio)

  • Resident Audio T4 (Thunderbolt 2)

  • Soundblaster live with kX ASIO driver

  • Soundblaster Audigy 4

  • Steinberg UR22C (USB3, USBC 32bits 192khz). Works directly on a Mac with a beautiful sound even with un-balanced jack. Works on a Raspberry PI4 provided jackd version used is the one from /usr/bin (Tweaking raspijamulus.sh). Not tested on PC.

  • Steinberg UR22 MKII. Sounds great, can achieve 64 frame buffer and works on Windows and Linux. Not tested on Mac.

  • Tascam DR-07X stereo recorder with USB audio into computer, headphones in line-out of the recorder. It can also be used with an external mic in the line-in (had to use a pre-amp with that). Windows 10.

  • Tascam DR-40X stereo recorder as above. Set "Monitor" to "PC/Mac". Ubuntu 18.04.

  • Universal Audio Arrow (Thunderbolt 3). Achieved lowest-ever latency with this device.
