I have to change my sound card because mine is now so outdated that the drivers are not supported by windows xp.

I have a fortissimo II that I like a lot but it sometimes stops working with Cakewalk and the only way to bring it back is to re-install the drivers.

So now I have two options:

- Use the motherboard sound card
- Buy a new sound card. If I buy a new one usb seems like a nice choice since I could use it with the laptop too but I am concerned about being able to play tracks and record at the same time over a USB2 connection.

Anyone here doing audio and midi playback and recording at the same time over USB2? Ever had any problems?

Usb 2 is good, but I don't know any soudcards suports it. M-audio cards supports only usb 1.1.

I wrote email to them about usb 2 and they sad that they have no ploans for usb 2.0 cards.

when it comes to sound cards, pci will always be the best for desktops. simply because of the almost non-exsistent latency and the fast transfers.
although firewire cards and usb are nice, in my opinion pci card are the most effective and reliant.
