5.0 out of 5 stars The Sound of Silence!, October 5, 2006

This review is from: M-Audio US41750 Audiophile 192 Hi-def Aud Card (Electronics)

After suffering through a variety of products I discovered the M-Audio 192; (I was partial to the brand because of happy experience with their Micro field recorder). After a reasonably painless installation on a PC with Windows XP, I ran the "Wave Profiler" in SONAR Producer to profile the new card. The result: What was formerly an annoying half-second MIDI latency dropped down to instant response!! Better yet, immediately after installation I turned all volume levels to MAX on my outboard mixer: Dead Silence! I wondered if the card was actually installed. Then turning the volumes down I played some music: Astounding presence and clarity. How much is absolute silence worth? A LOT! This card is worth triple the price.

I did a lot of research for a sound card. More research I did, harder it was to make a choice. I am not a gamer, and gamers, this card is not for you. However, if you plan on recording on your computer, or just digitize old tapes and records, this is the card for you. I have had no problems with this card and the sound is stunning for a pro card in this price range.Before I hooked up my sound monitors, I hooked up my old Boston Acoustic 6 watt per channel speakers, the sound was incredible, and thats putting it mildly. So, if your a gamer, go with the MadDog Entertainer 7.1 , dont let the low price scare you. If your a "audiophile" with a budget, M-Audio is the way to go.

This review is from: M-Audio US41750 Audiophile 192 Hi-def Aud Card (Electronics)

After reviewing a dozen sound cards, I bought this one for my broadcast/audio production studio. It works fine, no crashes, no lag time, and it's used on-the-air with no-hums, no hassle. The trick (I'm using Windows XP) is to first go to the M-Audio web site. Download the latest drivers and install it on your computer before installing the card. Throw away the disc as it contains some outdated drivers that were causing some trouble. I had some concern with compatibility with my CPU processor and recording software. I e-mailed M-Audio before I purchased it, and they were quick (one business day) to respond. It's been my workhorse for 6 months now and a solid product at that.
