My quest for a soundcard as nearly fell flat on its backside on several occassions.
The main requirements have been the following:
Gaming use a MUST
Good handling of Music/Film audio
Good Mic inputs for VOIP/Voice Comms in games
(Ive found the Mic on the onboard audio is poor compared to that on a dedicated soundcard).
Front panel audio header for connection of headphones.
The only 2 options have been:
X-Fi Prelude - Low volume Mic issues
Xonar D2X - No Front header/Game performance not fully proved itself as yet.
So am thinking of going with a Prelude and getting a USB soundcard for the Mic input.. sound a good solution?
This way I can also have voice comms through headset and game audio through speakers
