I recently bought the Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS and am becoming dissatisfied with it. I'll get a skip in the recording where the software (SoundForge 6.0) isn't recording and then resumes. I've had this problem before, but I just rebuilt the PC with Windoze 2000.
Does anyone else have a recommended sound card? I don't care if it's internal or external. I am running out of my home deck via digital coax and would like that input on the new card.
Thanks,
Jeff

you're gonna get all sorts of recommendations. I have been using a SEK'd Prodif Plus for the better part of 6 years now and it has worked absolutely flawlessly. only problem is it's a european company and it can be tough to track down drivers. there is a prodif 96 pro on ebay right now (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=41784&item=7321486830&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW) for buy it now of $82...(I paid like $400 for the prodif plus six years ago).

or you could get an Audiophile 2496 from here (http://www.digitraxx.com/ma_audiophile2496.html) for $98

Wow, thanks guys....I guess I should have asked this before I got the CL card. Oh well.
+T's around

I was gonna say, those BIN's on eBay are just about what you can buy one for anywhere. No advantage to buying on eBay. There is the one used for $66 right now and another that I am assuming is used, but it's not stated for $50.

This is a great card
I have the audiophile 24/95 and have never ahd any issues (after the first week or two of user error). works great.
-
the 24/95 rocks, but I would suggest upgrading to the 24/96 :P ;D

oops. I'm the king of typo's.

I know this is a little late bit I have been using the Echo MIA card. I have NEVER had one single problem with the card.

More expensive but 100% problem free!

Thanks, but I got my Audigy returned and placed my order for the Audiophile 2496. Thanks to all again!

i've had a couple weird issues with my mia, specifically not wanting to lock onto a signal...haven't tried it in a while though as i've been taping on jb3 and haven't had to transfer anything.

I have the audigy 2 platnium and it works great. I also have a M-audio duo for recording 2 track its fine. It sounds like to me that your problem might be slow cpu or not enough memory or a slow harddrive. I need more specs on what you have in order to make that determination though .

PIII 750 MHz with 750 mb RAM. The HDs are not the SE, so I think the regular 2meg buffer. I even have a 4 gig partition set-up for swap/temp space in SoundForge.
I used an Extigy before this ('til it died) and had no problems.

FWIW, i was reccomended this one by a couple of folks who are sound people.
