I'm considering purchasing a Pine soundcard. The ones under
consideration are:
Aureal 3D, 
XG-128 (Yamaha YMF724 chipset), 
PCI 64 voice (Maestro-1 chip),
Solo-1 (ESS solo 1 chipset)

They all appear to offer 3 or 4 stereo inputs and a mic input and vary
in price from �13 to �26 (i.e. all fairly cheap).

I suspect that they may well be slightly older models and newer ones
outperform them. Do you have one? What is your opinion of it's sound
quality (I'm not looking for the ultimate but my current one is only
ISA, has insufficient inputs and has started picking up noise). The
last I could possibly cure - it never used to pick up noise so maybe
wiring induced.

   Pay a bit more and buy an AWE64 value.  It will be worthwhile -
honest.  And on sound cards, unless you want to mix lots of audio
streams off the harddrive, ISA isn't an issue.

OK, cheap and cheerful, but there is a vast amount of pine stuff here
from MB's to soundcards and actually it all works as well as the brand
name stuff. It has to be said that it is only supported on a temporary
basis as far as I can see, but hey, it's probably obsolete by then
anyway.
