Hi guys,
I've just bought an Asus P5E mobo with onboard Supreme FX II 7.1 sound card. The last time I bought a sound card was probably over 5 years ago (Audigy Gamer) so I've no idea whether I should be buying a new, dedicated card or just go for the built in system.
I guess I'll need a new speaker system as well. My current 5.1 setup has no coax/optical SPDIF socket so I have wires all over the place! Ideally I want a headphone/mic socket on the volume remote as well.
Can anyone give me some recommendations? Not bothered about going for 7.1 (5.1 is fine and suits my room setup). Mainly going to playing games, watching a few films and playing some music, but I'm no audiophile.
Cheers
