Most (semi-)professional cards support monitoring from any input to any output.

The Xonar D2 _does_ support monitoring, and there is a high probability that the default monitoring output (analog) also goes to the digital output. Just try it out. (If your mixer doesn't show the monitoring controls, try alsamixer.) > After all, what are inputs for? For recording from another device, or internet telephony. Okay, the inputs on _this_ card are just there for the colorful LEDs. :) Regards, Clemens ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
