ICD soundcard support

Posted: 13 Aug 99 03:14:13 GMT -- by Fred. Subject: ICD soundcard support

ICD's mixer has no effect on the line input level
of my "pro" soundcard. I need a VERY GOOD
soundcard.....please tell me exactly what card I
should get for Infochannel Designer. Thanks.

There are many *rather* good audio solutions on the market--but we generaly
find that they tend to "bin out" into one of three buckets:

1) An attribute rich product with lots of software and limited long term
stability--typically the audio sub-system "locks up" in less than 24 hours
of stress testing.

or

2) A more basic, limited attribute product with excellent stability--audio
can play back for 100's of hours without failure.

or

3) Inexpensive chip that got placed on an OEM PC motherboard because it was
cheap and could squeek for 5 minutes.

We tend to _strongly_ discourage the use of any motherboard with an embedded
audio solution--price generally is the governing selection as to which sound
chip gets placed on a motherboard.

At this time there is we have found only one stable PCI Audio part: the ESS
1938--"Solo-1"--this is a catagory (2) device. Our current general
reccomendations are "classic" Creative Labs SoundBlaster 16/AWE32/AWE64's
with their WHQL drivers ONLY or ESS 1869 or 1938 parts with current OEM
Refernece drivers. The "Gold" AWE64 ISA cards would be considered a blend
of (1) and (2). Most of the "Vortex/Aureal/SB Live!" class of products are
clearly catagory(1).

You can still use the website without changing this setting, but certain features will be disabled.
