I have a note book computer with a realtech card, and I couldn't get any microphone to work with it including the internal mic on the computer itself. I completely uninstalled the Realtech drivers and let Windows install its own drivers. Now the mic works perfectly.

Re: Sound card recommendation wanted
Hi, I aggree that on-board sound systems can be pretty good. Comparisons between different sound cards, if supported by specifications are invaluable.

The control pannel, delivered with the latest revision of the drivers became unusable with a screen reader, However when set up, the card behaved well enough, considering that the price also has dropped from the time when I first bought mine, some 8 years ago.

If not, then an element of subjectivity takes us in to an area where opinions are only really valuable to the holder of these opinions. So here are some of my opinions. I used to be happy with my audiofile 24/96. There were occasional problems with crackle on one channel, this would go away if the system were rebooted. I suspect that this was a driver issue, but never really got behind the problem. I used this card with XP, and more recently windows 7. The control pannel, delivered with the latest revision of the drivers became unusable with a screen reader, However when set up, the card behaved well enough, considering that the price also has dropped from the time when I first bought mine, some 8 years ago. Still a good card, and gave good latency when used with Reeper. Then I changed the computer, and bought a Dell optiplex, I5 processor, 8 GB ram, and 1 TB HD. The onboard audio device, a real tek High definition audio system, is quite frankly, the worst audio device I have ever worked with. Dell's control pannel, is partly accessible, but it is hit and miss when changing settings. There are settings in the control pannel, that are not exposed to the windows mixer, so you have to use it. I couldn't use the audiofile 24/96 because the optiplex uses PCIE slots only. The audiofile, is available only as a PCI board, and although there are converters from PCIe to PCI, the profile of the 24/96 excludes it from this adaption so this sound card is now in an older dell, which will run only as long as the capacitors hold out on the board, and they are blowing so life is limited. This is why I am now looking to use the audio interfaces from tascam. I already have a US-122-A B but this device has no windows 7 drivers. shame. So I am looking at the current tascam range, similar to the device I already own, and this replacement should cost about 80 UK pounds. Then we should be good to go as they say.

Re: Sound card recommendation wanted
Dave, I think that the device is probably capable of sounding pretty good, if only, the interface from dell were accessible.

Speaking of Sound Devices and the like I meant to mention my new Zoom H1, I've tested it as a sound device and yes it works well. Put simply connecting the Zoom H1 ia a USB connection turns the H1 into a high quality x/y pattern desktop microphone, extend this by adding another microphone to the Mic input socket, don't know how this would go with a Line-in source though I can't see why it wouldn't work.

Re: Sound card recommendation wanted
Dane doou have to install special software on the zoom h-1 to do this, or do you just hook it up to an usb port and it shows up as an input device?

The onboard audio device, a real tek High definition audio system, is quite frankly, the worst audio device I have ever worked with. Dell's control pannel, is partly accessible, but it is hit and miss when changing settings. There are settings in the control pannel, that are not exposed to the windows mixer, so you have to use it. I couldn't use the audiofile 24/96 because the optiplex uses PCIE slots only. The audiofile, is available only as a PCI board, and although there are converters from PCIe to PCI, the profile of the 24/96 excludes it from this adaption so this sound card is now in an older dell, which will run only as long as the capacitors hold out on the board, and they are blowing so life is limited. This is why I am now looking to use the audio interfaces from tascam. I already have a US-122-A B but this device has no windows 7 drivers. shame. So I am looking at the current tascam range, similar to the device I already own, and this replacement should cost about 80 UK pounds. Then we should be good to go as they say.

Hello. You could look at the Tascam US 122 MK II USB Audio-Interface: I'm about to get a-hold of the next model, us-124 I think it is, only because it has a variable line-out. All the controls are mounted on the top of the device, so you don't really need the accompanying software. Check it out.

Re: Sound card recommendation wanted
I will take a look at that but I did manage to find a local distributor for the iMic device, its about the size of a wrist watch and has a switchable input - Line-in or Mic - and a standard line-out/headphones socket, all controls for the iMic are controlled from the Windows Control Panel or the Sounds System Preferences on a Mac, price in Australian dollars is around $50, the perfect external sound device to have packed with your Macbook or other Notebook.

Re: Sound card recommendation wanted
Not that this will be much help. I have a Desktop machine and - though I could put a Sound card into the thing - it already comes with a multitude of inputs and outputs that render the addition of a sound card absolutely pointless unless you have a specific need. On my system I have analogue as well as digital inputs which can all be easily configured through the Windows 7 control panel. These inputs/outputs are built on to the Gigabyte mother board, think that's the brand. The board also boasts an I5 Quad Core processor, not the most powerful around but enough for my needs. If I wanted to add a Sound card then I could add several types, a standard PCI Sound card, a PCI Mini Sound card or a USB Sound device which would probably be the most practical option in my case given that I have more USB ports on this machine than I know what to do with. I only suggest this option because Mother Boards are dead set cheap now.

Hi there! I would like to find an external one, that has separate jacks for line-in and headphone. My sound card on my Del Latitude only has one plug, making it very difficult to use like I need to use it. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Robert Nelson Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2014 6:23 AM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: Sound card recommendation wanted Unfortunately, I doubt that you will be able to find a sound card which has Jaws friendly software.
