The Behringer UM2 USB audio interface is a great buy even at its typical street price of $49.
We use a bunch of them with Jamulus on Raspberry Pi 4, they work great.
Right now ProAudioStar has it on "black Friday" sale for only $39, with free shipping in US.
If you need an interface this is a great deal.
I don't have any connection with Behringer or ProAudioStar, I'm just a satisfied user.
I second the comment about using this device on Windows. Don't bother! One of my band members had one of these and had no end of grief. They may work fine on Linux or Mac, I don't know. The higher priced Behringer (UMC202HD) works great, (runs for around $108 if you can find it -- it's often out of stock) and so does the even higher priced UMC404HD.

Hello,
i am new here and currently preparing everything for Jamulus use. I bought the UM2 last week at Amazon Germany for 29€ only. The ASIO4ALL driver on the Behringer website did not work for me. After some search i did found an (older) 64Bit Behringer driver which seems to work perfectly.

Yes just get the driver http://recordingstudio9.com/about/download/. Nick Veit referred to this in the UM22 discussion but this product uses the Midas preamps drives. These were specifically made for the Xenyx Mic preamps but the ASIO driver had problems with system notification sounds getting in ,so just turn off your notifcation sounds. When the drivers are cranked to full performance they run at 2 ms and grey out any change in buffer size in Jamulus settings. They run full blast even on a lowly Atom PC as they set the system to high priority. Trick is when installing - have your UM2 plugged in with no hub. If you hear clicking through the plugged in ear phones then it is configuring optimum settings. Once installed go to the second tab and select highest performance. Should get less then 14ms going through a local router or better. I like because the green light always stays on with very little jitter.

Probably great for linux and macOS but since there's no official ASIO Driver Windows support is not perfect
in Europe Amazon sells it at 33€ in these days.
