I bought this card a week ago, for use on my laptop ultra-lightweight which the following configuration:
MODEL: MSI S260
Proc: Intel Centrino 2Ghz
RAM: 2GB
HDD: 80GB
Master keyboard ROLAND PC-300
Softs: Sonar, FL Studio, VSTi various ...
I chose the MODEL for its small size and big performance from the perspective of computer music to any o. I lacked a more powerful sound card, and PCMCIA IDAL seemed to keep the advantage of few dimensions of the PC.
I mainly use virtual instruments and samples, I'm not making her (or only very rarely trs trs), which place a priori the criteria of the latency.
UTILIZATION
Installing a bit difficult, made in 2 stages.
I first tried to install the drivers from the supplied CD, but the program crashed directly to the CD release of the CD. began badly.
I Tlcharger then the drivers on the site of Crative and install, then retry the install from the CD and surprise, worked.
I continue the install, but the crash before the end of the installation process, with a carrment blue screen dump of physical memory. On a Windows XP SP2, as that has the balls not care.
At reboot, the Systm became unstable, I shall decide to reinstall over to see if by chance to plant again, and all ends well.
Since then, no worries of instability all goes well.
I prcise on the other hand that I have not figured out how to cleanly uninstall the whole mess at Creative Software ...
No worries of incompatibility is well intgre to the system.
Configuration gnrale a little messy, there are lots of small programs for each aspect of the config, instead of a single simple and clear interface. I regret the interface of my good old KX drivers ... : P
No manual, just a quick setup sheet. This cot feared the max.
GETTING STARTED
The drivers appear to be stable, no problem a priori.
I mainly use Sonar and FL Studio, that perform well, except that FL Studio will not run in 44,100 but only 48,000 Hz.
I note also that the ASIO drivers provided by Creative are not paramtrables trs: one can only rgler latency. No choice of buffer size, for example ...
Latency: 4ms with small dcrochages not all teachers from time to time, so that I am generally satisfied.
Only problem size and plutt me: whistling parasite absolutely unbearable. I do not know of it comes from o, and I can not even what the rduire. It trsgnant when I work with headphones, but not with the speakers. What remains quite disabling for me ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a week now, but can not argler my little hissing parasite problem, which owes me a little.
However, functionally it suits me well trs, it runs well, low latency Submitted.
This is the first MODEL I try on my laptop, and I confess dua be just because of the parasite. Otherwise the report qualitprix is unbeatable, there is no cheaper in this format. The only other major default remains after the heaviness of Creative drivers: Can not install / uninstall quickly and easily. It is unfortunate to note that as usual, Creative is not able to dvelopper anything other than gas plants ...
I plan to try even when another card like the Echo Indigo example, if a little more CHRE purchase. If someone possde one and can give me his opinion, m'intresse!
