i recently bought a hercules muse xl sound card and to my surprise, after i installed it, i cant play multiple simultaneous playback..

i was wondering if its related to software in which i can enable multiple playback simultaneously, or if its something hardware...


also.. while im at it.. i have some general questions regarding audio..

1. what is a synthesizer and what does it do?
2. whats the difference between midi synthesis and mpu-401..

i would appreciate specific answers... thnx alot.. also.. can anyone also give me a link to a website that details the parts of a soundcard..

No you can't play multiple analog sources (such as mic and 2 CDROM's) at the same time, except if you have a SB Augigy card. You can, however play many digital sounds over each other, up to 64 or more depending on the card. This is a hardware problem.

If it works for you then don't fix it.
