Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Vs Onboard Sound Chip with Modern Motherboards
Hello,
Is an old, basic sound card like the Sound Blaster Live 5.1, still better than the onboard audio of most recent motherboards? Sorry for my ignorance, I no nothing much about sound cards (yet). This card (Live 5.1) are very cheap to buy on ebay (less than 10 uk pounds), maybe I will buy one, but whats the point if my onboard sound it the same/better? Thanks, Nick. |

Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Vs Onboard Sound Chip with Modern Motherboards
Hey man!
Just today I replaced for the first time in my life on-board audio with Audigy SE, and it kicks ass I think anything is better than (in my case) AC'97 audio... You might also consider Audigy Value, or SE, they aren't too expensive (got mine for about 18 pounds, brand new)... I think it's worth it... Cheers, Sen "deadzebra" wrote in message oups.com...
