Our experience has been that Acer laptops generally have a pretty bad ACPI implementation but usually behave OK with ACPI switched off, at least for moderate latencies. STG has a boot option to tell it to do not-always-desirable stuff to reduce latencies where possible, and one thing that does is switch off ACPI. For soundcards PCMCIA is often the best option. For a budget-ish option, I use and recommend the Echo Indigo I/O -- though it's only useful if you don't usually need more than one stereo input or output. Chris
