nevertheless, several users have reported the same sound problem on the jaws list. The sound reverberates at the end of sentances which is very annoying. The problem cannot be rectified by updating the motherboard or sound card drivers, which means that one is left with an unusable system.
This problem only affects jaws and not other audio sources like winamp or media player. Steve Green ----- Original Message ----- From: "goshawk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

However if you're listening to jaws via another soundcard, it might well do the job for you. Sorry I can't confirm that it does have optical in and out as I didn't get around to using them.

I guess they give you another one to record from or something. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Logue" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

This card has two optical out's and a line in, but no optical line in. It's quite a nice device and I have Creative 5.1 speakers to go with it. I think it cost about £80.00 Best wishes.
