Guest Ryn Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 If gaming comes to play, nothing beats Creative SoundBlaster series. You can probably get an Audigy2 ZS for that price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red930 Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 what do you guys think the best CHEAP gaming/music soundcard would be for me cheap is like under $75 Are you going to use two-channel or surround sound? (5.1 or 7.1) If you just need two channel virtually any card will work just fine, but the cheapest/best multichannel solution is probably an Audigy2.

olympic Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 My reccomendation: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16829118109 -7.1 surround -Dolby digital live! (creates 5.1 sound out of stereo sound) -optical out -clean, non-bloated drivers What more could you ask for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest area51 Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Hello, I would probably go with the Audigy 2 ZS if I were you. Been great for me. For gaming you care about hardware acceleration (proc does less work), EAX support (positional sound effects used in new games), and whatever surround support you need 5.1, 7.1 etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
