Bugs and Limitations

·	The range of sampling rates is limited by hardware capabilities of these cards. However some clone cards may not be able support higher rates.

			    	Playback            Recording
	    Classic         4-23  KHz              4-13 KHz
	    2.0                 4-44.1 KHz            4-15 KHz
	    Pro                4-44.1 KHz            4-44.1 KHz
	    
	These rates are for 8-bit linear mono sound. Sound Blaster Pro supports stereo playbacks but only up to 22 KHz.

·	Playback of compressed sound files is not supported by this driver.

·	You can not record in 16-bit linear format using this driver. However you can use Lip Service in Mail since it records in 8-bit mulaw which is supported.

·	Recording from sources other than microphone is not supported.

·	You should make sure that DMA/IRQ/Port Address selected using Configure is same as the one defined by the jumpers on the sound card or system BIOS.
