Wish I could answer this Tony, I had my computer built for work which uses graphics and ram. My sound card was an afterthought. I'm getting error messages on the input and output not matching. I'll have to write down the codes and research some. But I'm looking for a computer that will now be used for music. I tried to install BIAB on my laptop but it's in S-mode and if I take it out of S-mode I lose all the security features. Windows wants to sell you things from their store so if it's not windows certified you can't install. So I'm in the market for a new computer also.
