My apologies, it was me being silly (and forgetting a silly smiley ;-> ) - High Definition is official; appearances are half-duplex.
If there isn't a need to input electrical signals and a built in monaural microphone is satisfactory, the Phoenix Audio Duets act as complete soundcard replacement with good sound quality. This has resolved problems for us time and again. Using the Duet we don't experience crashes with any greater frequency than we do with legacy supported sound cards.
