Andrew,

Thank you for all of the information... I will clarify the "any", "none" verbiage is not mine... it was take from voip-info. I will admit, I should have done my homework on the motherboard I purchased. I assumed that if you buy quality hardware it would just work. I am not in that position right now (again my fault).

Would you say, in your estimation, that the sangoma cards deal with bus level interrupt sharing better than the digium cards?

There have been some hardware PCI interop issues with Digium's stuff, but I know for a fact that these have been fixed in their rev2 hardware.

Then I am confused: lspci -vb Communication controller: Digium, Inc. Wildcard TE210P (rev 02)

Yet I still have sound quality issues due to PCI interrupt sharing.
