Hi All, Looking for a new sound card. I'm using onboard atm. Wanted to get surround sound speakers. I don't know what to get. Any suggestions. Price is not a problem. Thanks Nate
+1 Pretty happy with my Z. It's driving some 500w Logitech Z906 5.1 speakers quite nicely. I'm not quite as happy with Creative's driver support over the years though. I've had 4 or 5 of their sound cards. The X-Fi support is horrid. They like to dump legacy support the moment something new is released.
I've had Creative cards in the past and this is the reason I no longer do. Those that have them and they get them to work, I'm happy for you. Personally I can highly recommend this brand: HT|Omega They do drivers right. No fix this, break that. Download latest drivers, install, done. They work. HT|Omega Drivers
Try the X7 once u go there u never look back, its the best external soundcard atm money can buy. I had a Zx before but i had airflow problems with it cause it was blocking my SLI-setup
