Besides which, your Registry will still contain references to the soundcard, and you may also get error messages from music applications that, for instance, find ASIO drivers for non‑existent soundcards. However, this might cause possible problems in the future if you install another expansion card that is incorrectly recognised - I've experienced several cases where new hardware fails to be recognised because of existing software drivers. It is perfectly possible to power down your PC, remove the card in question, and then carry on with the drivers still installed, since Windows will ignore them in the absence of suitable hardware. Although soundcard manufacturers all provide clear instructions on how to install the required new drivers, and many also give step‑by‑step instructions on how to upgrade them, I've seldom seen details on the cleanest way to remove all traces of an unwanted soundcard.
Many musicians are now discarding their older soundcards and replacing them with 24/96‑capable ones. Martin Walker explains how to clear out all the drivers, utilities and Registry entries associated with an old, disused soundcard, leaving you with a clean machine in which to install your new, upgraded hardware. The new PitchBend function in Wavelab 3.03 lets you apply any pitch envelope to your audio for some wonderful effects.
