<div>If you would like samples of some of the ones i have obtained, </div>
<div>thinking they were cm-108 based and they were not.....:(</div>
<div> </div>
<div>i can send you a few for testing & evauation.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>if it would make the fobs ezer to add since there seems to be a glut of the "clones" out there. </div>
<div>i have bought so many of these from the C.H.Ina co via the usual hong-knog souces. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>i have a few so a wide and varried sample for testing is not a problem</div>
<div>they are just cluttering up the desk...</div>

<div>The CM-108 and its fully compatible cousins (all from C-Media) are still very much<br>in production and available as far as the actual IC goes. As far as pre-made USB soundcards<br>that use these IC's go, yes it is seemingly more difficult to find such things. The CM-108<br>
was selected, because, at the time, it was by far the most common IC found in such devices<br>and was of EXTREMELY high quality, reliability, and consistency (not to mention VERY good<br>value!). <br><br>Nowadays, is there once again, a generalized consensus focused upon some new, different,<br>
IC, or are all the available (and inexpensive) USB sound cards pretty much just random??<br>I haven't, nor have I had time to even look lately. If there is, perhaps it would be worthwhile<br>to see if whatever this device is meets the requirements for this application.<br>
<br>If there is something worth checking out, I am not adverse to doing so.<br><br>JIM WB6NIL<br><br><br><br>> Date: Thu, 9 Sep 2010 07:35:01 -0400
