Hi,
I would be interested in a long-term sound card solution that doesn't just fall
off the market with support/drivers etc. Creative were good at this, but like
Steve says its become less good now with drivers being buggy on occasions
(though for what I use them for I have no issues). I used Turtle Beach Montego
2which was possibly the best board I owned, but like some of the Creative
products Windows XP support was non-existant, meaning a change of card less
than a full year after I paid for the Turtle Beach card.
One thing I like about the Audigy is that my Audigy 2 works in linux with no
issues apart from a few Alsa reconfigurations, whereas my onboard Realtek sound
chip won't.
I get around Midi by using the Virtual Sound Canvas under Windows.
Thanks.
Andrew.

Please note slight change of subject line as I am going to ask Steve, Please
share your findings on alternatives to Soundblaster with the list. I have
already mentioned M-Audio, but their are one or two other manufactureres that
could be worth investigation.
In terms of audio recording and the like sound quality is very important, but
things like latency, which usually come down to the drivers, could also be
important. Also, for our needs, how well they cope with the presence of a
second soundcard for speech, although here I still use an external synth.
