Well if only that were true. The AWE32 is a wonderful piece of kit and I've heard some really good demo's from people. However although they are rated at 44.1khz they also have a massive problem with noise from the rest of the PC and are unusable for creating quality output. Ask yourself why people still get sound into a PC via a DAT machine and a Digital Input card. M:) [-A Cyborgs Eye View-------------------- http://www.u-net.com/~cev ] | home of....
