Canada Post Number: 503 Registered: Jun-05 | Hey I got my speakers in today, and I tried them out and I can only get my left/right and sub to work the center and rear ones dont. So i'm assuming I now need a new sound card, there are so many different ones on ebay and I have no idea which one is right for me or is there even a difference ? |

And yes there is a HUGE difference when it comes to sound quality of lower end sound cards and higher end. For low end get a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value: http://cgi.ebay.com/Sound-Blaster-Audigy-2-Value_W0QQitemZ280011521106QQihZ018QQ categoryZ44981QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem For Medium-High end get a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS: http://cgi.ebay.com/CREATIVE-SOUND-BLASTER-AUDIGY-2-ZS-7-1-SURROUND-SOUND_W0QQit emZ260011633488QQihZ016QQcategoryZ44981QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem For HIGH end look at a Sound Blaster X-Fi: http://cgi.ebay.com/CREATIVE-LABS-SOUNDBLASTER-X-Fi-XTREME-MUSIC_W0QQitemZ220011 057820QQihZ012QQcategoryZ44981QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem All should be able to do what you need done. I persoanlly would recommend the Audigy 2 ZS. That is the card I have and it has amazing sound qulaity, plus you can get it for a very good value on ebay if you search a little bit. |
