The Audigy is a good value card and pretty good sounding on first listen, however... everything you output from windows will be resampled to 48khz inside the card, and it doesn't do a very good job of it.
What this means is that e.g if you play an mp3, cd or anything that uses a sample rate other than 48khz the Audigy is going to add distortion to it. For a simple demo of what it does, take a tone sweep of say 20hz-20khz, play it through on the audigy.. once u get over 16khz you'll hear a load of weird noises which are the result of the resampling. The Audigy 2 is a bit better, but it still happens. Other cards that don't resample (such as the Terratec DMX 6Fire that I have) play it clean from beginning to end. Maybe this doesn't bother you anyway but it's worth mentioning I guess ;) -----Original Message----- From: * GARUDASOUL * [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 31 December 2002 22:22 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] Re: Sound cards for like $50 or under you can get an audigy that has a firewire port on it. >Yeah the MOTU 828 only works with firewire. > >on 12/30/02 9:19 PM, TJ Cinnamon at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > Thanks for the advice.
