Xonar requirement

[jerlich]

In our fork of Bpod we removed the xonar requirement and found that sound works with the onboard motherboard sound.

I'm curious why you initially specified that the sound card had to be a xonar card?

Hi Jeff

Thanks for the feedback!
I noticed on windows, that any sound card that supports ASIO will be
detected.
I had recommended the Xonar DX because it essentially matches specs with
the Lynx L22 cards used with Bcontrol: 192kHz, 24bit, <116dB SNR. Beyond
this, they have 7 channel output. My PsychToolbox sound server plugin
automatically makes a 1ms pulse of maximum voltage on audio channels 3-7,
which can be fed back to a Bpod input channel for a record of sound onset.

If your motherboard soundcard also has 5 or 7 channels and you don't need
the extra audio precision, that sounds great!

I'm curious when you forked Bpod. I released some bug fixes and
improvements recently...

Let's Skype sometime. Is today good for you?

Best,
Josh
