It's annoying as heck, you go to sleep after you turn off the PC, and
sometime in the night, after you have finally fallen asleep the thing
goes bunkers buzzing and making all sorts of noise. Which sounds kind
of bizarre because the PC is turned off, but nowadays turning it off
doesn't remove all the power from the motherboard anymore. In order
for a peripheral to wake up the CPU, part of the PCI bus still has
power. I would not have this problem if the PC and the speakers were
in a power strip that you turn off. But I need VAC for other purposes
so might as well fix this problem too.
I downloaded the demo of VAC (3.12) and I installed it and it didn't
take long to redirect the output to the built-in sound card, tomorrow
I'll fiddle with trying to duplicate the port and send it to another
program at the same time.
It crashed the Flex software a couple of times until I changed the
refresh rate, then it settled down, that software sure is handy for
$20. I'll probably send my $20 tomorrow after I play a little bit
with the repeater software. If nothing else it will be handy in
editing video and audio tapes, no more changing patch cables.
While redirecting the audio out of the Delta-44 to the built in sound
card I looked in the task manager and is wasn't even on the radar of
applications using at least 1% of the CPU, all the task eating 1% or
more were task I recognize as part of Windoze, good!

The problem I want to solve is peculiar to a Delta-44, but the Delta card
is a funky card, it's not like a standard sound card. It outputs all sorts
of noise when not in use and when you turn off the PC.
Leaving a Speaker connected to it is subjects me to all sort of noise in the
middle of the night when the PC is turned off so I have to get up and
disconnect the speakers, no other card I have ever owned has done that. This
PC is next to my bed.
So effectively I want my output on the same sound card I use for everything
else, which has no weird problems.
So before some start with "it's your problem", I've heard others mention
that they had the same problems.
