Well, then, Kathy, I suggest you check out the Soundblaster Live! 24bit External. I'm very happy with it. http://www.soundblaster.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=206&product=10702 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathy Szinnyey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

I didn't mention it earlier because you had specified an internal card. Also, I have never really tried to access the included software, but I don't think it's very accessible, if at all. Still, I've never needed to use it - always having some other piece of accessible software to do whatever I needed to do with my audio. Why do you want to be able to access specifically the software that comes with your card, rather than using some other, more accessible package?
