I did not mention sound cards, thats a whole nother can of worms, and that situation seems about as foggy as ever. True hardware cards like the Audigy2 Value are way too hard to find. And software cards are probably going to effect the linuxcnc latency readings, sometimes a lot, so I wouldn't figure on listening to music on the same box that carves metal. Some of the carving might be a bit funkity. So I don't have any speakers or amps plugged into the carving hardware, and if I happen to note that drivers are being loaded at bootup, I've been known to blacklist them in /etc/modules/blacklist. But thats something the individual motherboard model may or may not need. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > ------ Sponsored by Intel(R) XDK > Develop, test and display web and hybrid apps with a single code base. > Download it for free now! > http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/clk?id=111408631&iu=/4140/ostg.cl > ktrk _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
