Hey guys,
I'm currently looking for an external sound card(USB or PCMCIA) that supports 5.1+. So far I have the following choices:
Creative Extigy (USB; heard it doesn't do as good as it advertised)
Augidy 2 ZS for notebook (PCMCIA; heard it isn't really good in the first place)
Audigy 2 NX (USB; neutral at this point except the fact that it looks ugly
)
I had the standard echo indigo in mind until I realized it didn't support 5.1. It would be better if the sound card was amped althought it wouldn't be that much of a deal if it wasn't because I have an available amp. My budget is around 120$ US (I will be buying used). Let me know if there are any sound cards I might of missed and what you think of the ones I said.
Thanks,
Marc
