I bought a new soundcard last night. My old one came with my computer in 1997, so it was getting up a bit in years and I couldn't find any up-to-date support for it.

The mixer shows 32 elements with volume sliders. I have no idea what most of them are.

It'll be good to have sound out of my computer again. I was getting kind of lonely without it.
