When I purchased a sound card (the cheapest one in the store) for my old 486 a dozen years ago, it could simultaneously playback while recording and record multiple input and the same time. That was very good for mixing music. But the 5 computers I purchased since, none of them can do any of that. Recording is limited to 1 line of input at a time and it can't record what the computer is playing. Is it because the better kinds of sound cards just went high end or is it some kind of music biz copyright conspiracy with hardware companies?

Probably more that since then most people want cheap.
If you want a "real" sound card that can do all that, try looking at the Ymaha range (I think they still do them) which used to lead the field for the audio editing PC field
