I've got one one of the Original Audigys, bought it in 00. It still works great.

I can't reccomend a better card for what you want to use it for but you might consider speakers too. I've got a set of Altec Lansing speakers that I've been very happy with.
These look nice: Altec Lansing As do these: Creative Labs Last edited by nmt1; 03-29-2005 at 12:16 PM.. |

Chill, Bose haters...
I have some Bose speakers that I like [for the moment]. I expect the computer to be like the audio/visual center. Upgrade the sound card then then realize I need new speakers. Do you have the M-Audio card? Is it superior to the Audigy if I am not into games or DVDs on the computer? xoxo~ Gaz Standing on the lip of another money pit at Rancho Gaz. |

Speakers are going to make the big difference.
Klipsch pro-media or Logitech are the best brands, IMO. |

Have you ever listened to a BOSE set up? Its not terrible, but definately NOT worth the money you pay for it. The bass is muddy as it uses a multi chambered subwoofer, with a very small driver. No highs, no lows, must be Bose. |

Bose and Mac...same song, different verse...
Can we put aside the Bose-bashing for a moment, please? Am I going to hear a difference between a Creative Sound Blaster Live! 24-Bit, Creative Audigy or M-Audio card? I listen to CDs and stored music files [a mish-mash of MP3, WMA & OGG] both via speakers and headphones [Koss Porta Pros; who hates them?]. xoxo~ Gaz Knew he should not have mentioned the B word. |

Innie or outie?
Another question, please. Does anyone use [or used to use] a USB sound card? I am not exactly comfortable with opening up the case. Will I get the same sound quality from an external USB card? xoxo~ Gaz Wading into unknown waters. |

Creative made an "extigy" which was a USB based sound card. IIRC it did not go over well. I agree with rufusmaqe, USB is for peripherals.
