For a very cheap, compatible card you can use an Ensoniq Audio PCI. This is 16 bit 48KHz. I've done some decent two channel recording with one of those. There are a couple of decent two channel 24 bit 96KHz cards based on the envy24 chipset that run about $130 to $180 US at musician's Friend. Here are a couple of examples. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=030320132900024117199122901257/search/g=live/detail/base_id/52845 http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=030320132900024117199122901257/search/g=live/detail/base_id/52399 If you need more than two channels I would recommend the Delta 44 or 66 (again, envy24 chipset which I highly recommend). http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=030320132900024117199122901257/search/g=live/detail/base_id/52398 http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=030320132900024117199122901257/search/g=live/detail/base_id/52397 Hope that helps.

However, the sound card is described as a "SoundMax integrated Audio" (I don't really know much about this card and cannot find it on the ALSA soundcard matrix). I have read that it is a SoundBlaster compatible card but I haven't had this confirmed. Does anybody have any suggestions as to how I would get ALSA to work with this card? for example, what lines do I need to put in the /etc/modules.conf file? and what options do I need to type when I do a ./configure for the drivers? Are there any external drivers that I need to download etc? > > Failing all this - will I have to replace it with another card that is listed on the ALSA soundcard matrix ?? > > Regards, > > Pete ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Tablet PC.
