I did not find a device with that name on Creative's web site. The "Live 24-bit external" thingy has 5.1 outputs. The "Audigy 2 NX" has 7.1 outputs. > Is the '' soundcard: > a) not fully supported (more precise: has no working caprturing) > b) supported ( a standart compliant USB device with working capturing) > c) none of the above (but take a look there ...) Creative's PCI cards are completely different from the USB devices. All Creative USB devices that I know of are at least partially supported. For example, on the Audigy 2 NX, the digital inputs/outputs cannot be enabled. However, basic playback and capture should work with every device.
