There still are mobos with PCI available. I own a mobo with PCI and

I should have bought the less expensive HDSP 9632 instead ;). For
testing purpose I installed Windows XP, my RME sound card isn't broken,
it definitively is a Linux driver issue and perhaps PCIe support on
Linux too, but maybe PCIe support is not an issue.
IOW upgrading Linux software shouldn't cause issues for a Envy24 audio
cards, just buying a new mobo without PCI makes old cards unusable.
My replacement desktop system is too modern to
support such old
equipment as the Audiophile, it would be nice to have it working in the
old desktop system where it worked fine for many years, but now no
longer works.
This is really bad news. I've been using a 2496 for ages and found it extremely
reliable. No more updates for me then :(
