I appreciate the help. I actually have a M-Audio delta 1010LT. I found i could not play two streams at the same time. So i hooked things up to the intelHD (onboard sound) and was amazed at how much better it sounded. I was dumbstruck. A cloudiness was gone and imaging was much more precise. I don't know what to say save that my intelhd may have advanced past the Delta 1010LT. It's an old card and this board is only year old. -- Bearcat M.
