Hello all again,
After the disaster with the Emu 1820M witch is 99,99% damaged I need now
help to decite whitch other Soundcards I should take.
Here is my Hardware Situation: I will have 1 PCI slot free from the Emu card
there could be pluged in one M-audio Delta 1010 witch I will do 99%. Then I
will have 8 in-and outputs. But I need more because I have 4 synties here
and also need to connect a mixer and a micro fone as well as an cd-player
later on. But I only have 1 Internal PCI-slot avalible.
So I think the best solution is to start with 1 Delta 1010 card at first and
buy an USB soundcard later on with the additional in-and outputs that I
need. I have wanted the Emu so much because it has all what I need to have.
Because of possible IRQ-problems I have disabled the Realtek AC.97 Audio
under Hardware, de-installed the software from the "ad/remove programs"
sektion and with help disabled the Onboard sound (AC.97) in the bios.
To hear jaws I have connected an USB-head set now witch is showing up in the
system correctly.
That may not be the best solution but for now it works.

So at last I would need 3 cards: 1 for Jaws, and 2 Delta 1010 or what ever
for my music system. I am sure that one of the 2 music cards will be an
usb-card or even an simple soundblaster connected via USB to hear jaws.

This are my thoughts what do you all think? Is there an USB sound card out
that will help me and feed my needs?
What else system setups would you recomend?
I want to use a solution witch is blind user friendly and where I can get
support from a few people who have the cards running. It has been such a
mass with the Emu card. But this is realy not emus fold I think. To be onest
I think the dealer wo installed the Emu made a mistake.
