Originally posted by DJ RANN I'm actually surprised that no-one has told you this before about SB cards. There are many threads on TA discussing soundcard problems and SB's are to blame for many performance issues. I know this from experience. I worked for several years in the service dept of the largest audio retailer in Europe, dealing with several thousand soundcard enquiries (for every brand you could think of). I've probably installed over a thousand soundcards. The calls from SB users became a running joke and in the end we stopped giving anyone help that had one. Someone would call up and go "I've got problem X (x=latency, cpu drain, instability, incompatibility etc.)" and the first question would be "what soundcard do you have". If the response was anything from CL or an SB we would politely find a way to tell them to get a audio specific soundcard and terminate the call. People just couldn't understand that you need to buy a decent (even �50) audio specific soundcard to make the several hundred (if not thousand) pounds worth of computer DAW work properly. SB's are fine for just starting out but need to be dumped the moment you begin to use pro audio applications.

Well at least I know now, better late than never. Thanks much.
