I still have some doubts. 24bits at 48 kHz full duplex in stereo is
4.8Mb/s which is less than half the total theoretical bandwidth. But
we're talking about something that must be realtime without loosing
anything. How does latency relate to this? I'm not much into such
technical aspects but I believe that with more bandwidth and less
latency you need more processor time and speed. So, pratically with
current hw you can't go too far with usb 1.0. I achieved 5ms total
latency but the system was unstable, on a 2GHz AMD64.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. I just want to learn.
Anyway do you have experience with this Audigy NX? What about the
latency? My brother has an older Audigy (PCI not USB) and with the
original drivers he get 1sec of latency (300ms in + 700out).
