Hi Fluid,

We tried several flavors of Sound Blaster cards (like the Live! version) and they seem to work well for many people. It is probably worth doing a search on the Windows PT Free DUC for "Live!" and review some of these posts.

Other versions of Sound Blaster and "Sound Blaster-compatibile" cards should work, but we didn't test all of them.

If you've tried all the suggestions for Sound Blaster cards (including getting the latest drivers for your card) and you're still seeing problems, it may be time to get another sound card (there are some pretty inexpensive ones out there). Also, we should have a new version of PT Free out in a couple weeks that will have bug fixes -- this may solve the problem(s) you're seeing.

Good Luck,
Kenn LeGault
