Hi. I have an x-fi for my laptop but I don't like that one. Creatives are ok in general, I have an audigy in my desktop and it rocks. The live 24bits are all right too. turtle beach is supposed to make good high end sound cards. ----- Original Message ----- From: "constantine (on laptop)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Saturday, February 16, 2008 10:26 PM Subject: Re: Sound devices for the PC
Hi Dane, I'm not sure exactly, but I love the connecsant cards. I have one on this hp pavillion of mine (laptop), and it performs beautifully- and right now there are no independant volume controls on this card (but I forget what its called). I'll look into it and see what I can find. I also have a SiS 7018 on this desktop sitting beside me, but its horrible. Don't go with SiS. Creative are really great; I have an SB live on another of my desktops. I love it. THe stario mix feature especially, since it keeps the base and doesn't distort at all, and also unlike some soundcards, when you go to 0 percent, it means 0 percent- and when you put it at 100, most soundcards I've used distort but don't get any louder- this one really pumps the volume up and performs spectacularely! hope that helps; Have a good day from Tyler C.

Ok (as surprising as this may sound to a lot of people) I'm a novice with the PC technology (or trashbox as I prefer to call it <smile.) these days so I'd appreciate some input from other list members here. I've spoken about my DAT and I intend to get the digital converter that someone on this list kindly gave me the name of, I found it still in stock in some of the shops here so I've placed an order. The discussion has also prompted me to look at a new sound device for the Trashbox, I've used (up until now) SB Live cards, the Realtek ac97 built-in sound device on the Mother Board of the Trashbox and the Imic sound devices, all have performed to my expectations but now however, well I'm stepping into unfamiliar teritory as I want to purchase a sound card with digital i/o capabilities but on the other hand I want it to be as accessible with speech as is practical, I'm told that many of the new sound devices on the market have volume controls which differ from the standard windows volume controls, is this correct? I briefly looked at the catalogue displayed by my local computer store on the net http://www.istore.com.au and looked at the Creative brand, there's no shortage of sound devices there it would seem but which one to buy? Should I in fact steer clear of Creative completely and go for something else? Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. As a footnote to this, my Trashbox is approaching its fifth birthday so I'm wanting something which will be compatible with my current Trashbox and will be compatible with a new Trashbox which I plan to purchase in about 6 months all being well. Of course! if the device should be compatible with the Mac then that's a bonus but that's something that I don't class as a priority.
