Hi Folks,
This my first post so I hope I'm doing this right.
I just bought an AMD 1800 with an older chip set called VIA KT133. I also bought a used Maudio Audiophile 2496 card.
I'm confident that both units work except...
I'm very new to hard disc recording but need to get started on my next (low budget) project. My research tells me that the 2496 is the biggest bang for the buck for recording keeper tracks. Also the AMD is fine depending on who you talk to. BUT I've learned after I bring home the AMD that it has the problematic KT133 chipset which I at this point is overwhelming for me technically.
I can't get any info from the Maudio web sit in Canada or the US re/drivers that may fix any KT133 problems except on the German web site that's difficult for me to read even in google translate mode.
I've been told to go for the Audigy 2 but my gut says no especially from what I've read on this site! But this is getting very frustrating.
Any help that anyone could offer to educate me or even point me in the right direction would be a greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
