The real problem people have with Creative cards is poor drivers and software support for low latency multi-track audio and multiple plug-ins for digital audio work stations such as Sonar..

My older Audigy 4 pro sounds quite good and recordings are fantastic. But, asio is a bit dodgy with some soft instrument plug-ins in Sonar.

I have not had experience with the X-FI cards yet. They should be just fine for basic stereo recording and surround playback. But, if you are a musician or media producer, you would be better off with more professional gear.

I wish it was easy to compare the sound of different audio devices.

actually  that is not really true.
the  quality of the creative cards are quite good.
better then some of the other brands i have heard. other then that i would
go with  some others that i have heard but are well out of a persons price
range but still the creative cards are great and the x-fi series is worth
the money that you would spend on it.

Hi. From the many experts and audio buffs I have talked to Creative seems to
be pretty low-end. Does anybody have reccomendations for a sound card that
is inexpensive and superior quality to Creative. I think people just buy
creative because of the name. Similar to Bowes. Anyway thoughts?
