Pro Tip: open the X-Fi console and untick all the DSP which is enabled by default. Untick the equalizer, EAX, 3D, and the "crystallizer". (I can't believe they left this all on by default .. groan.)
 
Also, select 32/192 in the Windows audio device properties/setup. Finally, just to be on the safe side, turn the volume to 100%, and, of course, keep the bass and treble controls flat.
 
That should be your starting position from which to make any evaluation. Now, as they say, we are cooking with gas! All of the "hear a pin drop" S/N goodness without the nasty DSP mushiness. Music at last!

Is there anyone who can tell me where I can find breakout cable of Onkyo SE-200 PCI LTD (As far as I see there are 7 outputs, 4 for 7.1 2 for analog input 1 for microphone input).
I do not know even how this cable is called and cannot find it anywhere.
Your help will be really appreciated.
Please send me e-mail hasanbacioglu@gmail.com

It comes with the card, but is not for sale separately. Onkyo might have spares but this is unlikely.
 
It's a standard DB15 (VGA-type) connector, so you could perhaps wire something up from a modified VGA cable if you had the pinouts.
