I'm just considering purchasing a sound card but i want 2 know what sort of benefits it will have.

Stuff like
Will it Free up system resources
Do you get proper Dolby srround or sumthing similar because the nVidia stuff is rather crap.

Post like mad....
 
i have standard 5.1 Speakers, each channel will do wotever it's told 2 do, it's up 2 the software or sound cardto do the surround sound. I know its Realtek that do the onboard sound.

For a start when you select 5.1 it ruins the song, it can't even control the bass levels against the channels, so i put the LFE on 500 just 2 get a slight improvement, then i have 2 select "rock on the EQ" to make it sound like music, and if u add sum echo in the environsments your speakers sound like there gona blow.

I listen 2 music regurlary and i like my music to sound like music out my 5.1 Speakers without manipulating it. Don't get me wrong the Realtek onboard sound is imposible 2 critize with 2 channel sound (headphones), However the Realtek onboard has a terrible signal-noise ratio, always get cracks in the rear speakers

I want something like a live dolby prologic II decoder so my stereo music can sound like serround sound, or just sound nice out of 5.1 speakers ?

What sort of advantages will i get on a sound card ?

i know exactly what Pro Logic II is because its on my TV,

I used the word Live because i was refering to a suround sound signal being created within the sound card from a stereo source in real time.

Seems no1 can actually give me an answer to why get a sound card, but just state the obvious, u know i have touched a computer before ?

Anyway i done my own research so if anyone came here for help read this post:

Sound cards can make music sound like how it was when it was on CD by restoring the loss in compression. Which therefore helps the music sound really like music (unlike the realtek one).

Also Creative doesn't do dolby but EAX effects that can react the same feel of surround sound. I recomend the Creative X-FI Music one
