A quote from wikipedia states that an overclock increases a microprocessors clock speed, seeing as a soundcard doesnt have rateable processor it cant really be overclocked in that sense. The only thing that governs sound output is the sound controller chip, you could say "well, i just changed ver the controller chip" but that isnt overclocking at all, its just an extreme mod that would probably have been easier to buy a new soundcard...... no
