In our studio we have two machines with 1010's and one with an OmniStudio (Delta 66 plus I/O box) that run flawlessly. Cards like these with the envy24 chipset also have a nice envy24control panel which gives you access to mixer levels, clock source select, sampling rate, route selection, etc, everything the M$/Mac version does (your Hoontech card might also have the envy24 chip? I know the Soundtrack DSP 24 does). Another box (dual boot laptop) has an RME HDSP Multiface which I have not used under Linux for a while, but there have been some exciting recent developments for this card, including a TotalMix clone (see RME's page). It might be worth checking into. Kevin ===== "I should prefer this note not be read or, if skimmed, that it should be forgotten." - Mallarme __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
