OK. but the question is, does it put noise in recording in windows as well? I maybe solved it w/ activating the old hd audio integraded snd card, whichs broken, but line-in works and i tried it recording w/ it and that works perfectly. you say, that the cards never going to have a good sound quality. I am sure it doesnt, but what I am getting isnt even good enough. there is written on the box that I can record with it in 44khz and so on, cd quality and whatever, so is it a lie? i tried out manipulating w/ the mixer, believe me, however, i ll post some output later, but the settings can not be set better, because the only relevant setting here is the line-in and that is already on maximum. the second thing that i dont understand about this card is, that when I play sth at line-in, the sound is perfect, but the recording is crappy. so does it have a line-in to line-out passthrough? but then hows that possible that I can regulate it on my mixer and even mute line-in completely?
