Bobs suggestion of a 1010lt is valid if you're doing multiple channels of audio at the same time. Creative is dead, as far as I'm concerned, they've shot themselves in the foot last year, and have bled to death. You can't even find drivers on their website for old Audigy 2 cards.

I bought an Asus Xonar D2X card, in the PCI-e version of it, and it sounds good for playback, and seems to play nicely with my external DAC.

I'll have a more detailed report on it in a week or so. It's expensive, but it gets good reviews.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!
