I have used it just for capture, while using the onboard laptop card for output. I heard this is bad, though, but I haven't yet tried running duplex through the H4. I'll let you know. It works great with very low latency as just capture...

<br>set at about 94db. I mostly use the MP3 at 320 kb stereo and get very<br>satisfactory results, the Wav format will yield even higher resolution. It<br>easily get 4+ hours on 2 2750mah rechargeables. The H4 does not drive the USB

<br>new H4, which is less $, has surround capabilities, larger max SD 4gig<br>capacity, otherwise reduced features from the H4. Google and listen to some<br>of the audio postings on the web.<br>Hope this helps.<br>Tom F.
