Sound cards

[Ghost_Rain]

Ok guys I'm looking a Nice sound card which will run on Windows 7 and will not cost the earth for my son new Build which is almost complete.

What about this?
X-Fi Titanium PCIe

I have one of the older X-Fi Fatality cards. It is great. The only problem I had was the custom front panel connector required rigging to get it to work with a standard front panel header. I don't think that is an issue any more.

FOr a little more, you can go with the fatality version:

Stay away from the X-Fi's now. They were good... minus the dodgy diver support and random hardware bugs, but there's better options out there. Namely the Asus Xonar range.

Just like to say ty to Juneau for the link and advise and he was right on the money about X-Fi card they have major problems so I ordered this card below.

I have this one over a year now and i'm pretty happy with it. Support also DTS in vista. Great for games. Never had ANY problems with any game that i tried.

You are saying that based on ownership or because you read it somewhere?
I personally avoid comments on stuff that never belonged to me and i never had a chance to use them and evaluate them by myself.

I'm basing it on reading thread after thread after thread on Tech forums of people giving up on Creative and moving to Asus. The Xonar range also has slightly better sound quality.

I have a Creative fatality sound card had it a year still no compatible vista drivers 150 dollars of crap

[Ghost_Rain]

[bobytt]

Under Vista 64bit it should be perfect , dont forget u have serial key to register online for DTS.
