Title: Need ideas for a new sound card
Post by: TJara on November 06, 2008, 05:58:33 PM

Title says it, looking for a new sound card and my budget is up to $180-$200.
Right now I'm using onboard for the Asus P5N-E

Any good suggestions would help. Thanks.

Any reason the onboard ASUS sound chip doesn't fit your needs ?

The PC is not the ultimate appliance...yet many dollars are spent on trying to accomplish that.
For sound i have my stereo setup...cost a few pennies.
For video i have my big screen dvd etc. etc. setup...another few pennies.

No matter how much bread i would throw into a computer neither could be replaced.
Yet people still try.
