[BC] Sound card question (ASI-4300)

[Bruce Doerle]

Keith,

There are a couple of other things to look at too.

Firstly do have the correct driver for the software.  ASI provides both WDM and WAVE drivers.  For example, I found out that Real Audio does not the wave driver but runs fine with the WDM driver.

Another thing to consider is that the older ASI cards do not like the newer, faster multi-core processors.  I had a problem with an 5000 series ASI card and ASI was very helpful in helping me resolve the problem.

my $0.02
