The computer one, and onboard Intel, I at first thought was reasonable-- it is was not. In fact I recently discovered that only the right channel output gets delivered to both channels of output, and the left channel just delivers a faint low freq echo.

You could download the program and test them yourself. 16 bit onboard, 24 bit is more difficult. [For 24L bit You have to save the 24 bit output to a file, multiply it by appending it to itself a few times cat /tmp/play /tmp/play /tmp/play>/tmp/play1 play that file using say aplay -f S24_LE -t raw -c 2 -r 44100 /tmp/play1 record it at the same time havingrun the output of the card to the input,with say arecord -f S24_LE -c 2 -r 44100 >/tmp/rec and then analyse that /tmp/rec with the program. This all because I do not how to program in alsa, just oss with dsp. 16 bit works automatically within the program.] If you do pls send me the results.
