Q1: I've been told by various others that I should NOT use the internal sound on my PC -- That it could cause problems and secondly, that it would be to my advantage to purchase a higher-end sound card given I want high-quality sound output and input. I have PCI and PCIe slots available. If I were to go out and purchase a new sound card for my new PC on my new operating system, what do you feel would be a good choice given this discussion about ASIO and the very good likelihood that I will be playing along with BiaB?

Q2: Same question ... M-Audio Interface or something else ? I've seen some positive posts on other forums about the M-Audio 192 card but I'm reluctant to make the jump until I see some additional information about how I might avoid the ASIO issue(s).






I use the AP 2496 M-Audio PCI card and have no ASIO issues whatsoever.

The 192 is the step up from the 2496, uses the same basic driver set.

Of course, I'm running XP SP3 here still, can't speak to the newer OS.
