Hello everyone just registered here cause i am in some need of help with this situation. Had a wireless joystick catch on fire and ruined my creative labs inspire 6600's. i also, have a audigy 2 card nothing fancy just as basic as it gets.
With that said, I do not plan on spending alot on this upgrade but enough to get me up to date with the current technology. I wanna go digital, i mainly play games and listen to music but the music doesnt have to sound like im at an actual concert.
Here is what i was thinking of going with for sound card. 1.turtle beach montego ddl, 2. auztech xplosion 7.1 which is better to go with?
As for the speakers, this is where i am having trouble. I am confused on how this digital stuff works. the 2 sound cards that i am looking at have decoders built in right? if so, then does that mean i still need a amplifier, reciever or a decoder unit? cause as far as i know i do not believe speakers have optical or coax inputs right?
the speakers i was thinking about are creative labs inspire 5500 digital, 5700 digital or what other creative speakers do digital? i am for sure not gonna spend more then 120 for speakers. with that said what can anyone recommend some decent digital speakers?
The thing about the creative 5500 and the 5700 is that they come with a decoder unit but with the two sound cards i am looking at seem like they have the decoders built in them already so would i need the decoder unit that comes with the 5500 or the 5700? if not then i will go with different speakers.
another question about speakers.... do speakers have optical or coax connections on them or is that why you need a reciever?
