Getting a bit sick of the random screeching and blips with the Xi-Fi....

anybody got a decent alternative card to recommend?

Dont wanna pay super money .... but will consider whats is about.

Thanks.

well im not using Vista.... just XP - decisions decisions...

Creative : rubbish drivers

Competition : better drivers but loads of extra CPU cycles.

Ouch.

made a decision : Asus Xonar D2X 7.1 PCI Express.... just checking this will work with the Bad Axe II board I got ?

well since starting the thread Ive jumped ship - went for the Asus Sonar PCI express version... will pop it in tomorrow and let you all know what I think.

First time not having a Creative card so the pressure is on.

Do report back here please fella, I'm very interested to hear what you think about it (sorry pun unintented lol).

Well had it running for a while now - absolutely no problems so far

Sounds mint - I like the packaging and adaptors etc you get (dont forget you need floppy power lead

The software is very easy to change just like the Xifi... the difference is no crackling and screeching.

Expensive.... yes ... but it seems to work so am happy again.
