Do all sound cards work separate from the CPU??

**magicman** · 09-13-2006, 09:09 AM

In order of sound quality, your $1 one will be so much at the bottom of the list you won't believe. Then comes the SE, which relatively close to the standard Audigy 4 but has its differences. Then comes the standard Audigy 4, then comes the X-Fi series, in the order Xtreme Music, Platinum, Fatal1ty & Elite Pro, although the differences in the last three are just with the add-ons.

I've lost track, which one do you have on order at the moment, the SE or the normal Audigy 4?

If you have the normal Audigy 4 incomming.. keep it,.. its a really nice Card

se..........Do I have to pay for the return shipping???

Probably. My feelings are if you've got the SE coming, check the returns policy, if you can try it before sending it back, then do so, and see whether you feel it's worth the money to return it and get the standard.

To be honest the regular and SE cost about the same cost with shipping over all. I just wanted a way to pay with paypal and I didn't know there was a difference between the 2. What do you think the sample rate is on the one I already currently own?

DSP does not stand for Digital Sound Processor, it stands for Digital Signal Processor.

So what does that mean? Is it any different if it was called sound instead of signal or either way would it mean the same thing?

This is the sound card I got. on a scale of 1-10, when does this card stand, and where does the 4 SE stand and the non- SE?
