Who tricked you into buying that sound card?

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Buying that card is like buying a 6000+ when you could get an E7400.

Xonar blah blah blah, whatever.

Creative aren't THAT bad.

I was going to get the D2 for my next build but when it comes down to it the high end creatives are better for gaming. So it's not such an obvious decision.

The Xonar DX. Superior in pretty much every field, especially sound quality-wise.

With EAX more or less out of the equation, they're pretty equal in the gaming department. Yes, Creative cards utilize less CPU power, but that's negligable unless you're on a Pentium 3. No matter what, you should boycott Creative. Remember the Daniel. K incident?

But you can't disregard EAX. If you have Dolby-capable headphones then the Xonars are definitely the card of choice, even for gaming. But for example the positional sound (which is essential in gaming) is slightly less well produced by the Xonars.

Yeah, that shouldn't have happened with his drivers. That's the thing, the cards are good, just the drivers and support are shit.

I'm running clone config atm, suits me best when I game on the PS3 I can still chat over Xfire and do other stuff instantly without having to change sources on the monitor.

I bought a bluetooth headset today. Now, I can wear it everywhere, and when I see people I can say "What's up, buddy?" Then when they answer me I can cut 'em off and say "Hey, I'm on the phone, Asshole!" Good times.

G11 is god tier.
