Re: Poseidon compatible USB Sound Card

Hi Chris, Quoting:

"USB audio is only available for the Deneb. It will not work with the Highway, Algor or Subway controllers." Bummer - I've got a Highway :(

Is this due to FlashRom requirements, CPU overhead, memory availablilty or something else? Wondering if a software-based 'usbaudio.audio' file could be written just as AHI typically seeks within its' root archives. If so, how would someone go about creating one?

alexh: "Id guess at bandwidth. The Deneb has Zorro III bandwidth for RAW audio and the Subway only has clockport bandwidth."

Bandwidth or not, Poseidon (V4.4) generates an AHI listing upon recognition of the card, but no driver is available within AHI's default drawer. Is this just a file that's only 'supplied' or 'bundled' with the Deneb card? Should I've had this file within Poseidon's lha package? I'd like to try it against my Highway card even if the bandwidth would be poor.

Isochronous transfers which are needed for a USB sound card are only supported on the Deneb.


Ahh. Very well then. Thanks for enlightening me. Guess I'm on the fence whether I'll upgrade or not, cause the Highway works without a glitch & I'm not so sure I want to tear into my A3000 yet again!
