Basically getting a new LCD is on hold for the moment so i am looking at upgrading the sound on my PC which is currently on-board to a set of decent headphones. My 360 is plugged into the on-board as well, which obviously is pretty rubbish at creating a the 360's sound through it.
So basically i need a soundcard that will be able to input the 360 with great clarity, have an output to my Hi-fi (which is across the room setup for the TV) so i can play my MP3's from the PC & maybe some PC speakers to sit next to my TFT for when am playing on the 360.
Now a direct optical input into some speakers would be great, it would mean bypassing the soundcard all together, but i dont know if you can do that, and i'd really only want two speakers and no sub if possible.
I hope am clear in what am asking for here, please feel free to share your wisdom and input as i've not bought a souncard since the SB16!!!! (And speakers for about 10 years)
