My only problem is this:

I can use the SBLive for the triggering of Giga or whatever else, but the outputs are so noisy on the SBLive. Have you found a way around this? I hear the mouse moving in the speakers and all sorts of other "rif-raf". Unfortunately, I can't use the SPDIF out into the DSP Factory's SPDIF in because the SBLive is locked at 48k instead of 44.1k. Makes me really angry. Need to use the SBLive in order to take advantage of soundfonts that can use system memory, so the "superior" AWE Gold (because of its 44.1k digital outs - this is right isn't it?). But I can't really use it at all because of the noise floor involved.

I suppose I could loop back internally, so that the analog and digital outs don't have to be used, and then point the resulting wav file out to a different audio port...but what a pain is that?!?!

Blades (just venting)
