View Single Post - ALC889 or Creative X-Fi?

anerky99 · Rated XXX

At the minute im having a look round at soundcards for my system cos i have a 5.1 surround sound system but for things like music and basic videos all that gets used is 2 channel stereo which seems abit of a s waste. Was looking at creatives X-Fi range as they have the CMSS 3D system that is supposed to upmix music and videos to surround sound. Ive currently got the Gigabyte EX58 UD5 board with the ALC889 realtek codec.

Anyone have any impressions of the X-Fi cards or the CMSS 3D software??

Thanks for any help Smile
