Hi Paul, Most software will sync with the incoming system and this will compensate for any errors in the soundcard clock. Modern cards such as the SoundBlaster Live should not really need adjusting, to be honest I would forget about this with your card.
Re: 24-bit - again most software only uses a 16-bit data stream, 24-bits provides information that just isn't needed for modes such as PSK and RTTY. I agree about getting the card out of the box - I have noticed that some internal cards can pick up 'grot' floating around inside the PC.
