It's woefully undersupported.  People are getting the latest and greatest video cards, but sound cards are far below the same level of quality, all because great video shots looks awesome on a magazine cover, whereas nobody can hear great sound on a magazine cover.

If you just need it to listen to films and such then it should be fine. If you're much of an audiophile or do any sound recording, then I suggest you look elsewhere.

And there are some ridiculously fantastic soundcards available right now. They are so good. I'd rather have a emu 0404 than a fancy sli overclock 7 billion mb gold plated twin turbo nvidia monstrosity with nitrogen cooling and a hemi, but I'm also more of an audio guy.

Creative Labs makes an awesome(ly overpriced) soundcard, the Creative SB X-Fi line. It sounds like sex, and you can switch between audio creation, music and gaming modes.


But, as I said, it's... alot. If you're in the market for like, the best sound card I've ever heard, I'd totally suggest it. I dunno how good the recording quality is, but it's supposed to be great.

Bastardous Bassist:
Um...  Limited budget, guys.  $100 is a lot of bread to spend on a sound card, especially because my computer isn't my primary means of music listening (I have a pretty good two-channel stereo system, for the amount of money I've been able to spend).

Also, I want the surround sound.  I've got the recording/two-channel stereo down with the M-audio Delta 66 and Omni-studio breakout box I already have.
