Why the hell should I have to guess what you need. You asked for help. You
need to tell us what kind of help you need. It is not our volunteer job to
guess what you need.  Send me $50 per word and I will playyour guessing games
all you want.

By you telling us, which you have still refused to do.


 2)  On this one you even kept the question secret.

By you telling us which you still refuse to do.

So, again, why do you not tell us what you need and we may be able to make
suggestions instead of asking us to rate a bunch of fly-by-night el-cheapo
soundcards.

Note if you need more than two inputs it would be a serious mistake to buy say
6 cheap usb soundcards to get 12 inputs. They will all run at different rates,
and after a minute will all be out of sync with each other.
If you want a 6 input or 12 input soundcard say so.
