What sound card do you have?

[Geoff]

This is sorta like my last poll, although this one is based on what you have, so you can tell us what u have and/or why u like/dislike it.

I have the Karajan moduel, it produces decent sound and it works on a tight budget. I like it.

ONBOARD BABY!!! I'm not an audiophile, just as long as it produces sound. Anyway, onboard nowadays is very good, plus it saves you $$$$$

Onboard. SoundStorm™ Technology - It was/is comparable to Audigy sound quality. Audigy 2 I don't know about, probably not as top notch, but good enough for me.

I had SBLive! 24-bit from an old dell. New mobo's realtek onboard rapes it. better software and quality. thanks to asus.

I like my 4.1 speakers, so I went and got an elcheapo $15 no name card. Works fine and my Creative 4.1's (I bought them for $60 at WalMart two years ago) make my ears bleed. Ya can hear em two floors away, clearly.

I have the Live! card and I love it. I want to invest in a new card as soon as possible, but right now for $20 it does the trick. Optical would have been nice...

Onboard 6 Channel Realtek AC97 Audio

Not sure what mine's considered. I clicked Other, but I guess it could be onboard.

It's not too bad. If it ever gives me problems, I'll just yank it out and upgrade. Not sure what I'll go to though. I don't like Creative's software and crap...
