Hello:

I am recording from line-in with a CMI-8738 (integrated on the
motherboard), under WindowsXP, and when the sampling rate is NOT
44.1kHz, there is a strong distortion in the sound. I would like to be
able to record at 48kHz. Can anybody help?

PS: I have tried the CM9739 driver but with it the same distortion
happens at 44.1kHz samping rate as well.

Thank you.

Solved problems with this pretty cr*p chip on-board Asus m/b by installing a
separate sound card.

This was AFTER posting - no answers - and, as you have already discovered,
neither Asus nor CMedia are able/willing to help.

If you elect this remedy - the soundcard documentation should tell you to
disable the on-board chip in BIOS before installing. If yr m/b is Asus (mine
is A7V266-E) referring to m/b documentation offers little help. Here's how I
did it.

In BIOS, advanced, DISABLE the TWO references to AC97, continue to boot.
In XP Device Manager, go to Sound /Game controller, and "DISABLE IN THIS
CONFIGURATION". Shut down.
Install your new sound card, and load its drivers.

Hope this helps - Len.

This is a Chaintech m/b. Thank you for the response. It seems that a
separate card is the way to go.
