hey every one i never really bought a sound card before...well back in the day with my old 486 that had onboard sound i think i stuck a sound blaser live in there im not sure but the question is im looking to get a new one prolly a sb adigy2 but theres so meany diffrent versions i don't know if i sould spend 80 or 150 any sugestions im looking to improve gameplay and sound for music i know my speakers suck but i will upgrade them soon thanks for the help and im looking to spend 100- 150 us on one any one have a suggestion or could explain what i would be looking for in a card ^_^
for that money, the best card you can get is the creative soundblaster x-fi. if you can get it in buget, get the platinum, otherwise the xtreme music.
well i got the x fi and its instaling now i got hte cheaper one i dident see a diffrence between the two..but i noticed something when i opend my pc i dident relize i had onboard sound lol i thought i had a crappy sound card thats all....so how do i disable such a thing i have to go into my bios or is there anouther way?l
nope, bios is the only way just go in and disable onboard sound, then install your brand spankin new sb x-fi. Also, if you want good speakers and on a budget, I highly recommend the Logitech z5300's. I use them and LOVE THEM SOOO MUCH! Good luck man!
what about CREATIVE SOUND BLASTER AUDIGY LS BULK? if i install it, how many FPS will i gain within onboard audio?
oh man, its unbelievable, try doom 3 and listen for the voices in the background and stuff, sweeeet stuff also may I ask what speakers you purchased? or are using
If you couldn't figure out that you had onboard sound, maybe you should have somebody else install this card for you...
lol bro how hard is it to put a pci card in it dosent take rocket science but i have creative 5.1 speakers im looking to get better ones any suggestions
Just remember the PCI card slots are the white ones....lol And as far as speakers...if you got the money go with Klipsch! Awesome sound! Especially with the X-Fi.
you listed your location as other location... so how are people really supposed to make suggestions... looks into my crystal ball....go to a store and look around
