Hi Guys,

I bought this usb soundcard http://www.soundblaster.com/products/product.asp?category=209&subcategory=669&product=17751&nav=1

A few weeks ago, so that I could run a seperate output from my laptop stereo to my mixer channel 1 and another out from the x-fi to my mixer channel 2...yes its working but the laptop default soundcard is not great and there are bleeps and distortion and the levels between both soundcards differ a lot...so I am using the internal mixer for the moment..

But my question is, can I use the x-fi to include 2 outputs to my mixer? I am not tech savy on this, and need some help if possible...I have seen ASIO for all talk here and there but not sure it will sort my problem out?

Here are the specs - and if you are willing to help the website is here: http://www.soundblaster.com/products/product.asp?category=209&subcategory=669&product=17751&nav=1

think I need to go the mono seperated route in order to use the x-fi...can anyone verify this is right?
