I've been using an 0404, which I would assume is similar. Haven't found
a way of setting the sample rate, so I'm stuck at 48kHz, where 44.1
would be more appropriate here perhaps. Also, full-duplex mode doesn't
seem to keep up properly, and I've had to resort (for guitar effects) to
sampling with the 0404 and playing back through the internal sound card:
I don't know if this is the PC, a USB problem or the 0404 itself. Oh,
and the 1/4inch jack part of the neutrik connectors are a bit prone to
bad contact.

(And I really /don't/ like creative's power supply. I can't see any fuse
link on it for one thing, which seems a bit dubious to me.)



Interesting, I really need full duplex. I am trying to work out if I
can get a decent external (USB) sound device to work with an audio
measurement software package like Visual Analyzer or RMAA (both of
which work fine with wine).

I use (at work) an EMU0404 with Visual Analyser and with ARTA to do
amplifier and loudspeaker measurements (using a Dell desktop pc). I have
never successfully managed to get full-duplex operation running reliably
above 48kHz. Half-duplex is no problem, but then I can get that with my
own M-Audio Transit.

Obviously (like you I guess), I need full-duplex because I need to
reference the measured output to the input signal.


Yes, that's pretty much it. I do not particularly need a reference so
much as a convenient source of low distortion test signals.
