· Check with DJB Support for pre-approval on sound cards before installation. 
 
Audio Card Configurations:
· If you plan to Audition your audio in the On Air Studio, you will need a 2nd Sound Card for an Audition Output.
· If you plan to Record both Background Record Channels you will need a 2ndSounfd Card for the additional Record Channel
· Most compatible are external USB sound cards like the Lexicon Alpha, or the Behringer UC202.
· Multi channel sound card drivers for MAudio, Antex, Echo, ASI or other cards are more than a standard windows audio card.
