The AC97 spec requires that the cards be able to run at 48k internally, which means that a lot of them will always run at 48k and resample on input and output. I guess they saved a cent in components or something. I dont know wether they have to /only/ run at 48k internally, but many do. FWIW the ens1371 cards can do 44.1k (eg. some soundblaster 128's), but I dont know if thier still made. - Steve
