The issue with cheap PC soundcards is noise level.
You have understood my method correctly. You are also right it is a lot of work hence my search for a more timely method. I have not had any problem with sample rate adjustments and I have been pleased with the results so far. My point was that my experiences of trying to use a soundcard in the PC is the level of noise within the PC. I thought that having the ADSTechbox outside the PC would reduce the noise. From your comments I guess that the soundcard in the ADS is just a low quality noisy thing.
