Before I start getting ridiculed, I wasn't offered this soundcard. I asked for it.
It had been in use for a short time at the hospital radio studio where I help out. It was removed simply because the engineer who installed it into the desk has left the service. The regular updates for the software kept knocking off the automated music that was playing through it when nobody was there. I phoned the vice chairman of the group and asked to buy it. He told me just to take it.
