What sound card do you have?

Postby Allegro » Fri Apr 07, 2006 8:22 pm

What type of sound card do you guys have installed on your computer?

I currently have an M-Audio Revolution 7.1. It doesn't do much for games, but it's one heck of a card for music and movies (which is to say that my audio set-up is strictly on the PC).

Soundblaster Audigy 2, still ran perfectly after sitting in a drawer for 3 years; I bought in 2002 and it wouldnt work with my older intel motherboard but was instantly recognized by the ASUS board I got

nForce 5.1... it's alright. I would prefer something with better wavetable compatability though.

A really old Hercules Muse LT. There's an old Sound Blaster ISA card in the family comp when I feel like rocking to the real old DOS games.

I need a new sound card. Hmm.

SoundMAX built in stereo sound - but the 500w speakers in my room more then make up for it's shortcomings.

You know there is the option of purchasing a daughter board just so you can have the wavetable capability. I believe the old Sound Blaster AWE 32\64 stuff would do just fine in that case.
