Config: Athlon XP1600 + 256MB RAM VIA chipset KT233A

UTILIZATION

No problem with installation on 98 or XP. Recognized directly in XP and 2000.
No compatibility problems all the software recognize it.
The config is really not complicated.

GETTING STARTED

Drivers 98 and stable under XP.
I use Cubase VST for MIDI / SX for mixing audio, to record and edit Wavelab audio and virtual instruments for Reason.
Latency is good as Cubase and Reason in the middle ...
I read dj 44100Hz 16bits Stereo 8-track with no effects in Cubase SX problem.
This is the processor of the computer that does everything to play the audio ... The map does not give the qu'interprter
to transform them into sound.

OVERALL OPINION

Personally, I use this card for 3 years. I use a table to convert the signals numrique with good quality and the card is only read by the intermdiaire numrique give the SPDIF interface. J'enlve therefore the only problem posed by this card is that converters supermarket. I use it so simply as an interface between my table (Roland VM 3100), and my motherboard.
Then, for audio processing, the processor calculating everything, so we can say that the map is only an interface for monitoring.
In the same fawn, she gre transfers MIDI data between external and internal devices.
so this card is perfect for a config as mine:
microphone -> table -> spdif -> SBLive! -> PCI Bus -> PC -> PCI Bus -> SBLive! -> spdif -> table -> monitors
midi keyboard -> SBLive! -> PCI Bus -> PC (Cubase, Reason)

For the price (50), I find no bad at all. I personally do not need something better if I did not make multitrack.
