Hi,when i have buyed my external sound card (ESI QUATA FIRE 610) i was undecided.
I just have buyed this card beacouse she has all the features that i want to use :
8 channel stereo rca ,6 out and 2 in
2 midi , 1out & 1in
2 spdf
2 optical
and it's a Firewire sound card
also i have buyed a pcmcia firewire "800" 4 my laptop (not 400)
the soundcard naturally support wdm,asio etc. etc.
i use it with cubase,ableton and tracktor to play music during my live-set
it cost 500€,but now u can find it at 350€
i think taht if u want the good response audio u have to buy a soundcard similar,a firewire card that have this features

Well, what exactly do you mean by "it sounds like crap?" Do you have to outputs of the Connectiv going into line inputs on your mixer and not phono? |

| i have everything set up right, because when i hook the connectiv to my desktop it works fine. but when i hook it up to my laptop, the sound is very staticky and pauses every 5 seconds or so. |

i looked into soundblaster audigy 2zs for notebooks (i think that's what you're talking about), and i noticed there's no usb input on it, so the connectiv would have to connect to the laptop usb port, and not directly to the soundcard. would it matter? :conf: |

| I use a Focusrite Saffire because the sound quality is really good. It doesn't have a ton of inputs (2 analog, 2 digital) but the sound quality is awesome. It records 24/192 and the sound is absolutely perfect. |

+1.
I had the exact same problem when I originally got Torq.
Pick up one of these and it will solve all the static problems coming from your laptop's power supply.
It's like 16 bucks at RadioShack. |
