[ardour-users] Audigy to M-Audio

[mArukqs]

On my Celeron 900MHz I get 5.33ms latency. I don't show waveforms while
recording too. No any x-runs :)

But sometimes I notice crackling during playback f.e., when scrolling a
web page in Mozzilla.

Luc - do you hear parasite sounds from your motherboard in speakers? I
have this problem with Audigy when I turn volume up.
