There are no issues with my two _PCI_ envy24 cards from TerraTec, but many problems with my RME HDSPe AIO _PCIe_ card. "HDSPe AIO is the newly developed PCI Express version of the HDSP 9632." - RME I should have bought the less expensive HDSP 9632 instead ;). For testing purpose I installed Windows XP, my RME sound card isn't broken, it definitively is a Linux driver issue and perhaps PCIe support on Linux too, but maybe PCIe support is not an issue. IOW upgrading Linux software shouldn't cause issues for a Envy24 audio cards, just buying a new mobo without PCI makes old cards unusable. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
