I love this thing its amaxing. I don;t use as many featues as it offers but i have never ever had a problem sound wise, and it always produces the best sound quality. I run 5.1 klips speakers and a headset when i game.

Woot should have a special pretty soon. Another Audigy Platinum, I'd wager.

The new X-Fi series by Creative should be pretty good. They've made both a gaming version af music version afaik.

I have the creative X-FI Music card and no problems yet. Sounds great on my new Klipsch 2.1 speakers for games and music as well as my headphones. The drivers are nice I just had to get the onboard drivers disabled which wasn't rocket science. The software it comes with seems nice too. I have it set to 5.1 and use my headphones as the rear, kinda confusing when ur playing something but it's nice for funneling ventrillo out of my speakers cuz people have potty mouths. Sometimes I have issues where it makes the sound 3d and it kinda "leaks" into the speakers but that's due to the game I'm playing I'm pretty sure. Was just over 100 bucks for the card, I'm satisfied.

What about a old (Cira 2000) Sound Blaster Live! X-Gamer.

Worth it? (Cause I have one)
