Hello, I took a look at this: http://emu10k1.sourceforge.net/as10k1-manual/emu_over.html and was interested if there is anyone that has or did heared of someone mine using his sound card or using a miner that uses other kind of chips instead BFL,Avalon asics etc

I mean even if their MH/s rate is low because of their low clocks they are so cheap so maybe they have better MH/$ rate and if their compined into racks of lots of them together then they sound like a good investment.. needless to talk about their imediate availability

Umm. I'll go with, ASICs will be far cheaper and more energy efficient at low speed. Low-end ASIC chips should be flooding the market. The USB Miner is already down to 0.12BTC or less. Do you just have piles of chips related to sound cards in your closet?

Agree, I don't really think sound card can do mining much efficiency, unless someone already tried and show proof of it
