Thanks for the information, I have a few follow-up questions:
Can you use the es1371 concurrently with the USB?
Do you hear any glitches or static?
What are you doing on the USB?
Which drivers are you using for the es1371 - kernel or ALSA?
Maybe the sound card is fine and I just need a new NIC?
Thanks again,
Dwayne
