Hello chaps,

I've just started looking into getting a new sound card for recording music, probably an M-Audio or E-mu.

My question is how do these cards cope with games etc? Is possible to have two sound cards if my new recording card isn't compatible with games???

Am I talking rubbish?
Whats the meaning of life?
Where do babies come from?

Cheers, LMac.

My M-audio audiophile works fine with games. It reproduces any sound in any sample rate that you throw at it. Don't know about the E-mu but because of the link with Creative, I would expect it to work with games as well.

Yes, you can run multiple cards side by side. You can use the for instance M-audio card specifically for recording and select the other card as your primary sound device in the windows settings so that it will be used by games.

Thanks mate, I guess I'll just stuff em both in there, and have a fiddle around.

Thanks also for the heads-up on the whole babies thing, I could've looked really silly.

I use my E-mu 1820 with games with no problems. Just no hardware surround sound.

Same with my past M-audio and Aardvark devices. if you're fine with stereo in games, you're all good to go...
 
I had problems with my Emu1212m and my Soundblaster card together.

Good luck if you do it.
 
da..

How would a RME Hammerfall 96/56 stack up with games and suroundsound?
