When you get serious about your music, look into Motu, Edirol, Echo, Cakewalk, maudio and RME sound cards.
Your performance and sound will suffer using such cards Because they lack drivers, good A/D and D/A converters and 1/4 ins and outs. Otherwise I have to go back to MME :( Until you get a recommended audio sound card and stop using the onboard sound chips, youll be stuck using the worst driver mode ever made in the history of man kind (MME) Onboard sound chips are just meant for standard pc sounds and not recording programs.
