Multichannel Sound Card with SRC
LoLa16161 AND LoLa16161-SRC
LoLa16161 and LoLa16161-SRC are the queens of radio broadcast applications. We have designed these PCI Express linear (PCM) multichannel stereo sound cards to excel with professional systems either Windows or Linux based that require up to four stereo AES/EBU input and output channels. Because we know that reliability is paramount for radio broadcast applications such as multichannel audio ingest, play-out, and production, LoLa cards come with ultra robust signature drivers that will deliver. LoLa881 and LoLa881-SRC are hands down the reference for professional audio workstations and their operators.

In case you need to run the driver under another Linux distribution, please contact Digigram to get
the source code. If you experience issues for compiling / running the driver on your Linux distribution, we
propose a service to provide you with the appropriate driver; please contact Digigram.
My sound card is not detected by Windows
Make sure that you downloaded the lasted driver on our website. Indeed, from time to time we have to make component updates that require a new driver.
