Some thoughts:

  • A lot of cheaper sound cards run internally at 48kHz no matter what. They might happily take sample data at 96kHz, but actually resample it down to 48. If yours does this, you're better off giving it 48kHz directly and bypassing its resampling pipeline. The resampling might be a cause of the wobbly lines.

  • Does your scope have a "Z", "intensity", or "blanking" input when used in X-Y mode? If it does, you can use it to turn off the electron gun when moving between disconnected lines., giving less unwanted crud on the screen.

  • Speaking of disconnected lines, have you thought about sorting the list of lines in a way that minimizes the total distance you have to travel to draw the scene? It's an NP-hard problem, but even a half-hearted greedy version might help increase fidelity by lowering the amount of high-frequency content.

  • You might be able to increase the speed of line traversal while keeping decent quality if you dwell for an extra sample at the beginning and end of each line. It keeps corners from getting rounded off so much.

  • When I did my own oscilloscope game years back I used an old Sound Blaster Live 24-bit External, which is a 5.1 USB sound card. External helps eliminate electrical noise from inside the computer (though it may not be the best for latency), and the SBLive has good quality without objectionable processing as long as you don't turn on any of the silly effects.

I use this: http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Sound-Blaster-24-bit-External/dp/B00030099O

It's easy plug-and-play, has lots of outputs, and sounds great. Looks like you can get used ones on Amazon Market for $60, I'd recommend it. Has Coax and Optical Digital Audio outs, as well as standard 1/8" jacks. Powered by USB, supports 5.1 audio passthrough (DTS & Dolby Digital), so if you get a good receiver you can send the encoded signal straight to the receiver to decode, minimizing loss.

I'm doing a new build I've already started as noted in recent post. I used this USB SoundCard happily for years, loved it but now has issues with Win7 64. I want an internal card if I get one, other than using my mobos onboard audio so I can use the jacks on my new case. I also would like optical out to run to my receiver like I did with the USB one.
