I think that the sampling rate has to be higher than twice the highest frequency of interest. Just 2X won't cut it, but 2.0000001X will. A subtle (to many) distinction, but important.

I am seriously considering the purchase of one (or two) of these Audigy 2 cards to use as an audio o'scope and spectrum analyser for my audio tinkering hobby. I have never purchased a creative brand sound card because of the quality (or lack of) of the record/playback result. I have prefered the Turtle Beach soundcards because they have given me much better results, but the new Audigy 2 looks really inviting.
