This may be a little off topic, but this is where the best minds and most helpful folks reside.

I'm fixin' to install my EMU 1616 PCI digital audio system (PCI card plus breakout box)in my new computer - see specs in signature. I have only one PCI slot. The 1616 worked well in my old XP/32 computer. I had removed the SB card from it - so it was "all EMU".

I have EMU "beta" W7/64 drivers downloaded and ready to install. Word is that they work well.

My new system now has the Realtek "sound card" - I think it's really "embedded"??? Functions well. I have had it playing simultaneously BIAB and Sonar midi and audio, a midi player, and WMP while I banged music out of my keyboard.

Now, considering the installation the EMU 1616 - Any words of wisdom for the process? Any experience with this combination of Realtek and EMU? Is it possible that both EMU and Realtek could live together? Do I need to disable or physically remove (if possible) Realtek? Any insights appreciated.

Thanks.
