It is more dependent on the driver rather than the soundcard and on the OS. The WaveInput for Linux uses a PCM stream and AFAICT can be left unmodified from application to SBS. Windows is a different matter. Between Windows audio subsubsystem and the audiocard driver the audio stream can be mangled. I believe that even with a simple audio card Window processes audio "natively" at 48kHz so that "normal" 44.1kHz audio streams from applications will first be upsampled to 48kHz, processed (e.g. volume, bass, "concert hall" etc) and then downsample to 44.1kHz to be output on a simple audio card. Better audio cards will have better drivers and better processing but only when audio is played through the specific card. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80867 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
