Yes. Like I said, I use a Creative SoundBlaster Live! 128 and I can
do it. Any quality sound card will support it. I'm not trying to be
elitist here, but the ability to get a SBL! 128 for about $20 these
days really should be forcing AC97 and other similarly craptastic
chipsets to justify their existence.
