ST Audio is the only really good source of fixes for the VIA "problems". M Audio has nothing on the subject and when I asked them about it they were apparently unaware that there were any problems. The Delta 1010, 1010LT, 2496, Terratec EWS88MT, and all of the ST Audio DSP24 cards are envy24 (ice1712 driver) chipset cards. If you're going to use a motherboard with the VIA chipset (as I do) you need to check out ST Audio's pages.
