Budget Sound Card

wkingsnorth · 6 Aug 2011 at 12:52

Hi
I've got a liquid cooled Sandy Bridge i5 rig which I use for gaming, music, and videos (e.g. BBC iPlayer) and I am looking for a sound card costing £40ish to go in place of the onboard sound on my P8P67 LE motherboard. My speakers are some Dell 2.1 Speakers but I plan to get some better ones in the future.
Thanks

Save yourself twenty quid and get a Xonar DG.

Xonar DG can't be touched at £20

In a bit, but there are 50 billion video games coming out I want to buy so It'll be a while

Another vote for the Xonar. A bargain for £20, and should deliver a decent improvement over the onboard sound.

Good choice, I'm sure you'll like it.

It's arrived and it's definitely better than the onboard sound, thanks guys
