Ya to avoid possible noise pickup I plan on moving the computer to the trunk.

Is there any chance you'd be willing to test your card with hibernation while running centrafuse? Weird request, I know... I am still in search of a good value, higher end sound card to replace my audiotrak 7.1lt which doesnt like centrafuse and hibernate...

Thanks either way!

My Audiotrak 7.1LT doesnt have an issue with RR and hibernate.

I use RR too but I could give it a try for you. Although hibernation problems I think are usually system specific. What type of mobo/processor/hardware OS...etc etc are you using? I have a M10000 in my car but it is soon to be replaced with a Mobile P4 setup. As of right now, all my testing has been done on the Mobile P4.

Iceman-

Thanks for your help. I got the Directwire setup correctly and was rockin console with allocator, 2 EQ's and 4 Voxengo delays with no problem.

For more info on that see my worklog.

For those who want to stream audio into ASIO and your soundcard doesn't have Directwire, look for a program call "Virtual Audio Cable".

I don't have any problems with the 7.1lt and RR or Frodoplayer... the problems arise when I try to use CF. I think it has something to do with .net framework and the notoriously poorly supported audiotrak drivers.

If you guys could test your cards (both the 7.1lt and the hifi) with centrafuse and hibernate, I would TRULY appreciate it. If you guys can get the 7.1lt to work, I will go buy a new mobo if I have to to get it to work! All the other low profile alternatives are such crap. :/

Thank you guys.

This card looks pretty much like the Onkyo se-200, spec, Image.

Althrought the Wolfson DAC il older, it use the same Via ENVY24HT.

Nice! I'm running an X-FI Xtreme Audio, and the OPA2604s are going in today. I wish I could replace the DACs. Anyhow, this card is very low pro so it fits better with my mini-ITX setup.

I Would like to know how that goes, as far as sound improvement. Can you actually replace them on that card easily or does it require desoldering?

I have three different op amps in my possesion that I am still waiting for a time to try. OPA2227, OPA2228, and the OPA2107.
