- Wonderful 2-channel audio card!
This is TRULY an audiophile 2-channel card. I purchased it to transfer some music on vinyl to digital format from a high-end turntable, and it has done that remarkably well. Another pleasant surprise is the quality of playback on the computer - the subwoofer really 'came to life'. Even my 128k i-tunes stuff sounds TOTALLY different even on my [high-end] computer speakers.

That being said, here's some tips:

- Lives up to its reputation.
In my search for a decent audio card at a not out-of-reach price I finally chose the Audiophile 2496, for two reasons: glowing internet reviews and excellent manufacturer specs. I am pleased to report that the card lives up to its reputation in every way.

- The song remains the same. No Vista drivers available
This card used to be a nice one. I boght it four years a go (it was $300 then) and drivers used to be updated in a timely manner. Appart for the limited connection options, it did its job.

- Perfect for last gen. operatign systems
This is THE perfect sound card for budget musicians wanting to record their own music. I use it with microphones, guitars and electronic drum sample triggering (all affected in real-time) with no hiccups. Could not ask for more features EXCEPT: that it worked on current operating systems. I've had to downgrade to Windows XP to use this sound card. How's that? That's why this product gets a 3/5 for me.

M-Audio claim that the Vista 64 bit driver will be released before the 1st of September. Unless the ... Read More

- works great
So I got this card to rip my records at 24 bit 96 hertz. It works like a champ! Very nice sound, the bass is killer! It was easy to set up and had great info to help me get started. I am very happy with this purchase.
