Ouch! I was just thinking about getting a 4DWave...Is the dirty line-in common to /all/ implementations of that chip, or do you have a bad one? > It seems as though Creative is pretty good about releasing driver info > on most of their cards.

Be warned, the Live! is a NOISY card, and consumes quite a bit more CPU than an es1371/3 does. The 1373's are good; I'm just getting tired of mine. -- -=|JP|=- "This space intentionally left blank."
