For fucks sake in the year of Our Lord 2008 do onboard soundcard manufacturers deliberately make their products as nasty, useless and evil smelling as possible?
So my firepod died. Yeah I've been shooting my mouth off in here for the last 3 years about how great they are. Well not now. From this point forward, if I get to hear of anyone who buys a firepod, I will personally come round and nail your testicles to a nightstand. How does something made of chips & ICs just spontaneously crap out? A unit like that should last a lot longer than 3 years. There are no valves to burn out. Apart from the knobs on the front, there are no moving parts. It's all solid state isn't it? Fuckin chinese crap.
So I had to install the onboard sound drivers. SoundMAX. Yeah right, that name really fills me with confidence. Restart. BSOD. Well there's a surprise. So it's google, search the forums, find some new drivers, download install them, waste 3 hours. The I fire up Reaper, and now there's this vicious whine emanating from the headphones. And no, it's not my tune. When I scroll or zoom, the whine gets louder. You know I'm really starting to appreciate those presonus drivers that no longer fuckin work. Fuck it
