Skitals Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 The HCL has mostly external/usb/firewire sound cards. Is this because most PCI sound cards don't work? Or do most people get on-board sound to work? I have an internal Sound Blaster Live which doesn't work, and my onboard AC 97 doesn't work either (AMD - Asus A8AE-LE). This is on uphuck 1.4a 10.4.9. I don't have much hope for it, so I intend on getting a new sound card. I would prefer to stay away from USB because of bus and fidelity limitations. Does anyone have a list or know of a PCI sound card that works? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frizbot Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 No? I haven't heard of any. Wish something C-Media worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitals Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share Posted September 7, 2007 Luckily I was finally able to get my on-board sound to work. Persistence ftw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCE Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Luckily I was finally able to get my on-board sound to work. Persistence ftw! Hi Skitals. Very curious about this: how did you manage to actually do that? I have an ASUS motherboard myself (A8N SLI SE) and couldn't "convince" it to render sound at all. It too has a Realtek ALC850 onboard sound chipset, so could you please tell me how you got it to work? Maybe you're doing something I'm missing here... Thank you in advance.

codedancer Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I am using the Griffin USB iMic and it works better than my on-board sound as I can now live monitor sources that I record. Works great in OSX and Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
