I've been looking for a good digital interface card. The SB Live might be and option, but if you look at the eval on that card at the above mentioned site, it's worse than the AudioPCI. The card I've been waiting for is the midiman 2448. The original release date was suppose to be October... suppose to be :-( http://www.midiman.com/Html/products/dio2448.html I'm trying to get midiman to release some docs, hopefully a driver won't be to difficult to write. I've seen some reference to the newer PCI128's having spdif interface's? Does the card you bought have that? On a side note I finally sat down and hooked up some input lines to the 1371. Everything seem to work fine in -CURRENT, setting of the rec/mic/line levels work just fine. Now all I have to do is get a 3.3 box up and running, and track down the mixer bug... hopefully by the end of the weekend. -- Russell Cattelan cattelan@thebarn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
