My grandma has a Technics SL-D3 in the basement. I looked up the specs on the internet: Type: fully automatic turntable Platter: 312mm aluminium alloy Speeds: 33 and 45rpm Motor: B-FG servo controll ed Pitch control: 10% Wow and flutter: 0.03% WRMS Rumble: -75dB Tonearm: static balance...

What is that settings software? I got that card too, but not the control panel. Windows 7 installed its drivers automatically.

Logitech Z-4 Speaker System 80w Black: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo Great sound for the money. I can't think of any other speaker set that will sound that good for that money. The subwoofer is LOUD, too. I don't recommend getting a 5.1 set for 50 pounds, as it most likely will be bad...

Good point Robscix. I bit the bullet and went for the Audiotrak Prodigy HD 2, off ebay. If I don't like it, I can still change the opamps. And it will be a lot better than my on-board audio that's for sure. I'm sure it can always be better. My setup is very decent, but it's not the...

Haha you guys... I really appreciate the expert help but I don't understand what most of the stuff even means in the previous post (leeperry's post). I thought I was an audiophile for having a seperate soundcard and a big 2.0 set instead of a standard computer speakera set. Guess I was...

Yea, but too expensive and too much of a hassle.

I have looked at the prelude. It looks great but it's just too expensive for me. The Forte is PCI-e, and I don't have any of those left on my motherboard because I have two big graphics cards in there as well. I play shooters like the new Call of Duty. Just how big is the difference between...

I don't know what rolling an op-amp is, lol. I use the computer 80% of the time for music. Other 20% for games. There may be better cards for gaming, but this one definitely won't be bad, and be a lot better than my on-board sound, right? I liked how the xtrememusic sounded in games...

These are the ones that I can buy at a store nearby. My budget is around 100Euro's. It has got to be PCI, not PCI-e. I play shooters. Loud explosions and blasts, stuff like that.

Both have Windows 7 drivers, just did a Google search. So... which one?

I run Windows 7 64-bit. Vista drivers work on Windows 7 also, so drivers won't be an issue with any of them I think.

My X-Fi Xtrememusic died on me, so I'm getting a new card. I mainly use it for music, but also games sometimes. I hook the computer up with an analog cable to an amplifier that drives two big speakers. So I don't really need a card that can do surround. The following cards are in my budget...

Thanks for the tip. I tried it, and the rear channels sound even worse! Seems like I gotta buy a new card...

The Home Premium version is usually the way to go. 99% of the people that buy Ultimate don't even use the extra features that it has. They just buy it because it's called Ultimate. This might help you.

Hi guys. I have a Creative X-Fi Music, been very happy with it for almost two years now. Much better sound than my on-board audio. Yesterday I was just listening to some music on my computer, and a big bang came through my speakers. After that I didn't have sound anymore. I rebooted my...
