[Buggs]

Hello,jinx..the wierd sounds from sblaster card.. have platinum ex mking sort of intermittent beeps and pops like it's selecting single notes from from a keyboard effects bank then whole thing drops out? Is this common with sblaster? about to upgrade and not sure which card to go with Colin

Buggs...

I was a SB user for many many years. I no longer am due to thier increasingly unreliable drivers and support. Not to mention the all the unwanted software installed to run thier hardware.

If you need a recording gradel sound card, I'd recomment the M Audio 2496.

If you want just a regular sound card, I'd recommend the Asus Xonar line.
