One review of the Terratec 512i here.
 
Only one opinion of many of course (I just grabbed a sample
from Google), but not very optimistic. How old is this
card I wonder?

It has the mini-jack type connectors plus S/PDIF, so I don't consider it 'pro-quality', but if you look at the PCI cards that are supported through AHI, then the Terratec might well be the 'best'. It doesn't mean it can compete with the higher priced cards with break-out boxes and such, but you get what you pay for mostly. I've purchased both SB Live! and Terratec cards, so I'll be able to tell you about the quality in ehmm.. some time.

Cheers,

They are both damn cheap, so i guess buying the TerraTec 512i for around 300NOK is NOTHING!!!

@Helgis
This is a very interesting thread: Is the TerraTec 512i audio-card much better than the SB Live?

Hmm...

Simply to shorter the headline, and because i considered this quite important..I love music, that's why....

See that [edit] button ? Please, next time use that. Not everybody finds sound important. Being deaf for 50%, I couldn't care less about quality sound. I prefer visual quality.. If I wanted to know more about a GFX card I wouldn't post the same topic 2, and would not reply to the same topic several times within minutes (First post 21:14, second 21:19, third 21:22, not counting the other thread) just to keep it in the recent listing...

Sorry, I think you were just plain rude now.

If somebody gives you friendly advise, try to take the advice in consideration.

@Gadget,

I couldn't agree more with you... Maybe it's because I've been online since 1986/87 (Fidonet mostly), but netiquette seems to be a forgotten art... Ah well... Time to start counting the gray hair now eh ?

<> I just used the [edit button]  ;-)

More technical info on the TerraTec 512i here.
 
I wonder, what's the difference between "soundblaster compatible
MIDI interface" (which this card has) and the "General MIDI"
of my keyboard?

Here's a review of the Terratec contra one of the Creative Soundblasters. Haven't read it myself yet.

French review

Babelfish translation

Also, I heard from a rather questionable source that the s/pdif output of the 512i doesn't work and that it was a hardware problem. Don't really know what that's about, surely they must have fixed it by now.
