==========================================
It's not the best, but it's near the best. It has alot of competition from rivals such as Hercules and their XP products. Cheap, and excellent. But for today, the Audigy2 stands out tops on paper, not sure if it can in real. DVD from the Audigy1 compared to the Audigy2 is noticably better, but not with Games, users have reported.

Soundblaster
except the soundblaster audigy and live card dont work on winxp and creative dont bother to put out any winxp drivers for them.
And before you all say they do, I know of lots of people that have bought an audigy or live and are having the same problem win winxp.
So i'll stick to my ancient soundblaster 128 for now.
Yamaha do really great but expensive XG soundcards which are supposed to be the best.

Depending on what you want to use it for, there are some other really good soundcards around.
If you want to do some pro quality recordings combining audio with midi and have multiple audio outs including digital, have a look at the Event Electronics stuff like the 24 bit Gina. Awesome cards.

Are yousure you want a sound card?
Perhaps you want a DAC/ADC multi channel interface - for say making your own 5.1 plus stereo mixes or other semi-pro or professional recording.
Look at a firewire interface and the MOTU 896!

I use a SoundBlaster Live! Value. I've had no problems with it.
I've had XP on this machine and had a few little problems.
Any ideas on a good non-Creative (soundblaster) sound card?

What's about the "Extigy" (or however its *****ed)?
- 12-04-2002, 08:20 PM #11GTOGuest
Extigy is external Audigy
The Extigy is nothing more then an external Audigy.
But with the new Audigy 2, the Extigy 2 is going to be able to record at a higher quality then the internal Audigy.
The new Audigy2/Extigy2 series is going to be one bad mother!

I have a MaxiSound FORTISSIMO! and I like it. Got it for $40, supports A3D 1.0, EAX 1.0 and 2.0 and DirectSound 3d. It's made by guillemot.

If you're not using windows XP, then I would go for the soundblaster audigy 2. It's the best in my opinion, but PC soundcards will always lack in quality in comparison with real professional music hardware. Although that's my opinion.

WAIT A MINUITE..HOLD YA HORSES....
Soundblaster Audigy Platinum and Audigy 2 DOES work on XP because I use it.
I`ve got an Audigy 1394 card which has XP drivers..and I use the front panel of a LIVE (Therefore giving me an Audigy Platinum)
I know this as I`m an PC engineer and build the things.All the Audigy2 has thats different is 6.1 sound but HEY! isn`t 5.1 just as good.? And who makes DVD Audio anyway..Good idea though.
This is the best card on the market..without doubt.
