Well thats what m-audio are saying about nf4 boards,they say that performance is worse especially when partnered with a high end graphics card,that it hoovers up the pci bandwidth and causes issues.
I`m not convinced,other folks say theirs work fine.I just got an audiophile 2496 and am experiencing audio drop outs on coax spdif when playing oblivion,it just goes silent.
Haven`t had chance to test daw apps yet but will give it a go.
It seems i`m not only one having issue either..

The Problem.
Playback over s/pdif is sometimes either silent or distorted but not every time. The fault only occurs when playback is started, never at some point during playback. The fault does not clear until playback has been stopped, it never corrects by itself during playback. The occurences are apparently random but fairly frequent.
The normal 1/2 channel that feeds the Main analog outputs is unaffected by this problem and always plays correctly, even if in use at the same time as the s/pdif channel while that is suffering the fault. The problem is entirely in the s/pdif out channel.
