Ok this a few things I'd like

I'd like for my headphones to be hooked up to my sound card at the same time and be opertional as well.
I have a logitech 530 sound system (5.1)
I really don't feel like pushing past 50 bucks for a sound card...
I'm no audio freak, I don't do any recordings I just litsen to music/watch movies play games.

Any suggestions?

Generally onboard sound is pretty good, is there any particular reason you are upgrading?

Yes my mobo only supports 2.1 sound I want 5.1 minium. I like the second one much better. I feel a lot saver just seeing the review.

If my MOBO supported 5.1 i'd be fine, but it doesn't. It only has 1 mic port and two tohers. I need 5.1 ;( i'm so used to it.

5.1 you cant live without especially for music fans out there

Agree with matt actually that one may even be a bit better, personal choice though, speakers do really make a difference, always stay away from cheap subwoofers too. Normally they pick up faint radio stations, my last one had like an indian station when i lived in the UK very strange, at first i thought i was going mad hearing things. Changed sub and problem solved.

LOL, I know what your talking about Rebellion88, same thing happens to me with my spekaers.

Whats

digital audio out with optical audio

From the reviews it does what I want it seems as a qaulity solution and isn't some piece of crap.

Nice well Creative are a well known brand so you would expect something half decent, hope it does the job well for you. My old desktop pc had one of them, a slightly different model, you do notice an increase in quality especially when your playing music loud. Well as long as your speakers are half decent.

 

[Nik00117]

I'd consider x530 half decent... I can't get any bigger parents wouldn't allow it. My biggest reason for getting it is because onboard doesn't=surrond sound.

A nice car subwoofer couldnt go a miss. :smile:
