Or better thought, use a chip that can support higher clock speeds than 20MHz, like the 18f series. I don't quite understand the object of the project though. Do you have a computer that is putting out 5.1 sound in analog that you want to turn into digital? Don't most 5.1 cards out there also have a digital out, thereby allowing you to just use a digital cable to carry the sound?

Would be so cool. Not to mention practical. -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline? Don't AutoReply us! email listserv@mitvma.mit.edu with SET PICList DIGEST in the body
