Earlier this week, I ordered the same sound card; waiting for it to arrive.
I can't be sure, because I haven't done it yet, but, I would think, your friend would do best to install the USB drivers first; that's certainly what I intend to do when I receive mine. I'm not even sure I'll install the software that comes with the card, as, I think, I already have lots of software to do everything it does that I might be interested in. As for making sure that the card doesn't take over as the default device, we've previously discuss on this list how to edit jfw.ini, to force Eloquence to use a particular device as its default. That's what I'd recommend your friend do. Do you need to have those instructions reposted? Blessed Be, Dana that's Dayna, D A N A, NOT Donna, D O N N A D. S. Leslie, née C. R.
