CT4810 is the PCI 128,I would use it.The 1370 is a AWE 64 I believe.I got the 1370 I had to run on hte 128 drivers but didn't function right,Don't remember why,but the AWE 64 drivers worked great.I had a lot of problems getting the 1370 working right.I finally phased it out

I just bought a SB Live card,and running on WinXP it blows these other cards out of the water.Something to think about

Well, they are both cpu driven sound cards. LOL. Big spike in cpu usage pluss less sounds handle per moment. A MCP-T mobo (nforce2 sound) or SB will whip it bad. I have both of those. MCP-T and SB live MP3+. Plus I have the AWE 64 made by Aopen its the "cobra" model with 4 ch sound. No doubt the other cards own it. I just dont care for SB bad driver support. If it works GREAT stuff. When it doesnt-dont expect a lick of help from them nor a fix EVER. They never fixed the !850 chipset sound bug to this day. From what over 3 years ago I had that board. Pathetic. I ahd to dw a hacked version of the sound drivers one file to get it to make any sound at all. lol.

I just used the driver XP installed for hte LIVE card,and it works great.Don't knowe what would happen if I had to D/L one.I had no luck with the 1370 card I had,I figured it was just the card.

i have installed the ct4810 and disabled my onboard ac97
windows recognizes the 4810 and installs all the drivers properly
i even have the volume icon on my tray
but here is the PROBLEM : i can't hear shit !!! i push play on winamp or any other sound player (even games) and it pops up an 220h error or something like that
directx also gives me sound unrecognized error.
