While the "static" might be, the distortion is almost certainly internal to the hardware. All the driver does is deliver the bytes to the soundcard. What the soundcard does with those bytes is up to it. There is no distortion in the bytes. Now if bytes get dropped that could be a driver issue, and that would produce static. > > Lee > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Using Tomcat but need to do more?
