But there's no real benefit using ASIO over Kernal Streaming. And it doesn't seem to play back any other than 44KHz (normal for most music files). Don't bother with resampling because the only thing it does is increasing CPU load.

As for running 2 sound cards, some may work, most don't. Many people tried to run both EMU and Audigy together because one has good output, the other has good gaming support. Both will conflict because they share some drivers.

I managed to run both onboard and EMU. EMU for foobar playback only, no disturbance to my music.

"And it doesn't seem to play back any other than 44KHz (normal for most music files)."

When I said this, I meant that if you set 44KHz in Patchmix, then you are only able to playback 44KHz files.

Maybe you can try installing the Prodigy first, then EMU. See if that works.

Breakout cable? Nah, not necessary.
