I could, but it wouldn't do you much good. After sending my first reaction I realized that softsqueeze probably won't support the ASIO interface. The application needs to be ASIO-aware.

As ASIO wasn't available I just tried the M-Audio Transit (which is a USB interface) and the Dell PC's built in audio (which is not an AC97 as I said, but a 'Soundmax'. Turns out the Soundmax did pretty well, I think there was probably a slight letancy that could be heard when I mixed the SBR signal with it over the headphones. The M-Audio OTOH, did horrible, the sound was totally out of sync. Possibly because it's optimized as an ASIO interface and the standard Windows interface won't be used very much. Not much help to you, I'm afraid. Don't buy an expensive card but experiment with cheap ones or get a (also cheap) SB Receiver instead. That oughta work without problems. That Soundmax card produces horrible interference noise from the video card. It changes when I open windows and things. It's best to keep the analog sound generation outside your PC.
