Hi, I've just got a Soundblaster 16 (Vibra16C, isapnp). Sure seems like something about it's wrong, although it'll record/play S16_LE at 44.1 kHZ maximum. The computer's an old 200MHz Pentium MMX, running Slackware, if that helps.
Really, it's a small issue, but it'd be so great to figure out how to do this without ESD or whatever. Thanks again.
