Two sound cards
Can I use two sound cards in one PC? I want to record one audio stream and listen to another simultaneously. I'd be using two sound systems.

i might be wrong but i think more than 1 conflicts, i kwow to get a soundcard to work you often have to disable the onboard audio in BIOS.
however there is probably a soundcard available that can do what you want in one card.

What are the system specs?
Some newer mobo's can handle 2 distinct audio streams simultaneously.

you can do it.
First thing to check is ASIO compatibility of a sound card. If you sound card is ASIO compatible and there is ASIO driver for it (google "asio4all") you might not even need second sound card. Having said that I use a MAckie mixer via firewire that uses Onyx Asio driver and at the same time I use E-Mu 1616 soundcard connected via PCMCIA for hardware effects and monitoring. I do not know how it works but it works... But for simple A channel recording with B channel playback you should be okay with any ASIO sound card |
