You know when you are getting mbone audio with >20% loss, or share the office with 3 other people and a total of 8 PCs with fans, who cares about noise from the card :) In any case you are very right, and some cards are noisier than others. I cannot really say (even judging from postings on comp.sys.soundcard.mine.is.better.than.yours) that price and quality are really related. Since most noise comes from poorly designed analog circuitry/power supply decoupling etc. on the card, it's not even the codec, or ISA vs PCI. I'm sure -- if you say that -- that Gus and or your vibes cards are good quality ones, but i think you need to give very specific brand names/models to give useful info. cheers luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
