The non-pro audio cards (AC97 and HDA) are designed around 48k. In fact AC97 codecs sample at 48K and resample down to 44.1k sometimes badly (SB Live!). Go back a month in this list a month or so for more reasons why 44.1k is less than good for recording. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
