This is more for archival information than anything else, but I'd be interested in anyone else's impressions.

I was using a Sound Blaster PCI sound card. During captures, I noticed I would have drops at a rate of around 1/6 mins.

I just replaced that card with a Vortex (the cheap on, like $15 from Geeks), and I now have done two 2 hr. captures with zero drops. ZERO drops! And I used to have occasional synch problems too. I'm guessing I'm gonna find that my synch problems have disappeared................

Good luck
Mike
