Speaking of sound cards, has anyone tried the sound cards by Turtle Beach of late? Back when I was using a laptop, I used a turtle beach audio advantage SRM and it worked quite nicely. When I got my pc I really didn't have much need for it since the internal card did everything I need so I

I do the USB card for audio and onboard card for the screen reader thing, and it has served me very well, especially when playing different audio things through the USB card for example. as if a bit of audio I am playing is very loud, I don't get any issues with not being able to hear my

Re: Possible Recommendations for a good USB sound card please

no problem, those sorts of places would be my first ports of call if I was looking to get hands on demos of the sound boxes, which is why that was my suggestion. it very much depends on what you really want, but certainly in my view, the steinberg boxes would super easily knock the audigy right

Re: Possible Recommendations for a good USB sound card please

Hi Larry, On this dell optiplex, there is a default sound card, which is a real tek.. Now here's the interesting thing. The windows mixer, offers limited access to all the controls on the card. Further, these controls can be accessed, using an app called "dell audio." This opens up all the

Oh, I'm sure we do, since we live just outside of the Chicago Land area. I've just never had occasion or any real need to pay a visit to such establishments. But hey, that might be a rather interesting way for me and my dear wife to pass the time one afternoon. Maybe she will be tempted to

Re: Possible Recommendations for a good USB sound card please

have you got any good music shops near you? I mean the type that sell musical instruments and equipment such as microphones, keyboards, electric guitars, amps, and such. as those sorts of places may be able to do that for you and give you demos of the sound boxes there. Simon - Original

Re: Possible Recommendations for a good USB sound card please

It just says Realtek hi definition audio, and I have tried turning enhancements off with no satisfaction, and no new drivers available according to my updating facility for the card in the properties in the control panel. If you are referring to something besides enhancements when you refer

Re: Possible Recommendations for a good USB sound card please

Hi Larry, With the correct creative drivers, you should end up with audio that you are happy to listen to. My only concern with creative, is the difficulty accessing the creative labs control pannel. That sed, on-board controls, gain sellection, ballance and so on, are a real benefit for me in

Simon, thanks for the recs. Now, if there were only a way to try these things out before laying one's money down, but guess we all would wish for that. I will give these some thought. They do make them sound quite good. On 3/3/2016 4:12 AM, goshawk on horseback wrote: personally, I like the

Re: Possible Recommendations for a good USB sound card please

personally, I like the steinberg USB boxes, such as the UR22, or UR28. these are very high quality, but will not break the bank. the software for them is relatively accessible with window-eyes, and will also give one a nice set of adjustment options, for things like sample rate, bit depth, and

Joe, thanks for your thoughtful and deliberate response. I did a specific Google search yesterday for Audigy drivers for use with my particular card and Windows 8.1, something I thought I did a while ago, and came up with the particular set of drivers directly from Creative Labs through a tech
