EtherealN Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 By external, do you mean literally external (via USB for example), or an actual sound card (PCI or PCIe)?

Cali Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I think he is just talking about PCI cards. I bought a cheap on, didn't even remember the name off the top of my head. It cost like $30 and works just fine. i7-4820k @ 3.7, Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB 1866mhz EVGA GTX 970 2GB, 256GB SSD, 500GB WD, TM Warthog, TM Cougar MFD's, Saitek Combat Pedals, TrackIR 5, G15 keyboard, 55" 4K LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yskonyn Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Creative Lab's soundcard are very good concerning sound quality. Their driver support can cause some serious headaches though. I have been using Soundblasters since I have a PC and they never ever dissapointed in giving quality sound. But if you go for one be ready to fiddle with drivers for a bit (there are some 3rd party driver packs which are actually better than creative's).

Cali Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 That's it, I have a Creative Lab card, although I think it's gonna die anyday now. Then again that's how I feel about my computer, ever since the kids have to use it also. i7-4820k @ 3.7, Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB 1866mhz EVGA GTX 970 2GB, 256GB SSD, 500GB WD, TM Warthog, TM Cougar MFD's, Saitek Combat Pedals, TrackIR 5, G15 keyboard, 55" 4K LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreW82 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Any creative card with x-fi digital signal processor (x-fi xtremegamer, x-fi titanium, etc) Note: x-fi XtremeAudio doesn't have real X-Fi DSP on board... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I know nothing about those, mine is a PCI and it was cheap....plus been working good for a while. One question.......why do you want a USB one? i7-4820k @ 3.7, Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB 1866mhz EVGA GTX 970 2GB, 256GB SSD, 500GB WD, TM Warthog, TM Cougar MFD's, Saitek Combat Pedals, TrackIR 5, G15 keyboard, 55" 4K LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevlon Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 I know nothing about those, mine is a PCI and it was cheap....plus been working good for a while. One question.......why do you want a USB one? Because my onboard souncard only plays sound for the right channel. Secondly, my revodrive will occupy the last PCI-e slot I have.
