It just says Realtek hi definition audio, and I have tried turning
enhancements off with no satisfaction, and no new drivers available
according to my updating facility for the card in the properties in the
control panel.
If you are referring to something besides enhancements when you refer to
excelleration then I can't find any such setting anywhere on my system.
Turning off such excelleration was an option with my XP Computer, but
doesn't seem to be the case with this one .

Subject: Re: Possible Recommendations for a good USB sound card please
Joe, thanks for your thoughtful and deliberate response. I did a
specific Google search yesterday for Audigy drivers for use with my
particular card and Windows 8.1, something I thought I did a while
ago, and came up with the particular set of drivers directly from
Creative Labs through a tech discussion group. I plan to have my
daughter remove and install the sound card to the Dell some time this
week, and give them a try. Hopefully the card will give me the
performance hoped for, or at least remembered by me. It sure has to
beat the on board contraption I am using now. If not, then I guess
the search is on again <smile>. And if everything works out well,
then I'll drop a short note to let the list know about it.
Thanks again,
Larry

Hi Larry,
The stumbling block may be the requirement for accessible software
along with
the device.
I am running a Roland Duo Capture external usb card here. It's easy
to set up,
it works with the windows mixer, so you don't need preparietory
software. There are hard controls on the front pannel, 2 quarter
inch jack sockets, with XLR
capability.
This takes a stereo feed from my mixer, but it might not have enough
inputs for
you I don't know.
A Nice card though.
then there is
Focusrite's Scarlett range which provides a choice of USB audio
interfaces to
cater for any scenario.
You might need to talk to a local dealer about these, but the
advantage is that
they have good Mic pre-amps, plus line-in sockets.
Sorry this is so sketchy.

Listers,
I guess that subject line kinda says most of it, but just some
clarification.
I am looking for some suggestions for a reasonably priced USB sound
card without any game audio gimmickry like what I am experiencing
with my Realtek card on my Dell, but a pure audio presentation.
At present, and most likely for the foreseeable future, I will
continue to be using an analog stereo system, so don't need to pay
particular attention to HDMI, or anything related to that.
Would like to have a card with all the appropriate line inputs and
outputs, and with the quality of an audigy, or maybe even better, if
that is indeed possible for a good price. And just as a bonus, I
would like to be able to access the software that comes with it
using Window-Eyes.
The only reason I am asking about a USB card is because I don't want
to have to install a regular card. However, if my best bet is to
just forget USB in favor of some real quality, I would be willing to
do so.
Of course, I am primarily acquainted with Creative Lab
cards, but any other reputable brand would be acceptable.
Thanks for any input,
Larry
