Hi How good is the quality of this card, compared to cs4231a chip? (From /dev/sndstat, I haven't actually looked at the chip on the card. ) I currently have a problem using full duplex when there is ide disk activity. I have to kill update to make it work, which is probably a bad idea? I have a via chipset. What is the best quality card (I don't care about wave table stuff, just dac/adc and full duplex)which will work with linux? Preferably with a free driver. Regards Rob
