I'm not trying to be mean, when i put down your suggestion. I'm just saying that its too far-fetched to even try, or i don't even understand what you're interpreting my problem as. Could someone please just confirm that this is possible with a sceen capture image of the project and whatever card it is that they'e running with it?

I posted mine up specifically because it is insane :D
Certainly it's of no use to anyone but me due to my specific needs & choice of gear.

I think you talked to me on aim a bit ago. Let me reiterate, I know of NOONE that uses the soundcard module with any success on win2k & XP. They are NT based OS's and have had their audio subsystems modified a bit from the AC97/WDM spec that first came out with win98SE (and them ME). I don't have a clue how creamware coded this module, but it does NOT work in my experience.

A small outboard mixer will not only help you sum the two audio cards together, but it is imho essential to protecting your speakers. There was a time I thought of abandoning my external mixer as I only had a DJM600 (dj mixer with line ins only) or a mackie 1202vlz, but after a short discussion with Red Muze he made it obvious what I had overlooked: that managing your gains in the digital realm is not the same as the analog realm. Bit reducing your signal down to halfway so that you can monitor at a reasonable volume and still be able to turn it up for some 'thump' later is not realy a good idea. :)
