Hi Andy, One caution with Creative, once they discontinue that card, you will find they no longer develop the drivers. I have an Extigy card, which is good, but they haven't updated the drivers for ages. I hate Creative for that. All the best Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andy Sent: Friday 30 May 2008 21:01 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: USB soundcard suggestions? Hi Orhan. I have been using the Creative Soundblaster 24 bit external Card, for a couple of years now and it's great. The card has an optic out, so you could purchase an AV unit from Richard sounds. I got a Yamaha unit for £120. This allows me to play all my music from my computer, via the soundcard to the Yamaha and I can get 100 watts. To be honest I no longer use my hi-fi, it's just so much easier to use my computer. Yes, I'd go with Creative no problem. Best wishes.

Hi all, I have found that increasingly, my onboard soundcard decides to crash. I would like to buy a good external soundcard, which as geared to heavy music listening, heavy computer using, and some gaming. I am looking for USB soundcard suggestions, and may buy a creative soundcard. The soundcard has to be pritty standard, stereo mix, line-in jacks, ya know.I am looking to spend from 70 british pounds to 100 british pounds. Please don't get this confused with dollars because something you buy in the UK for 50 pounds equals about 100 dollars, but you could buy that item in the states for about 50 US dollars. I'm not that concerned about prices, so makes and model numbers will come first, and i'll investigate here in the UK the prices. Thank you for your assistance in this matter, Orhan. __________ NOD32 3148 (20080530) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
