It's kind of bizarre to think about all the audio struggles from the past and "good" (not actually) things like SB, and today with my truly fantastic, ~$25 usb dongle that blows it all out of the water with ease (32 bit, 448khz). Some of y'all maybe don't realize what a golden age it is (am I old?).


It does not. That old sound blaster had more input channels than your dongle.


shrug Didn't need more channels then and don't need them now. Guess I could buy 6 of these for the same cost (probably less factoring in inflation) if I ever do


And if you are deaf you need 0 channels… I did use those channels, the fact that you personally do not is not as relevant as you might think.
