My motherboard has onboard sound which has been fine up to now. Recently my speakers have started crackling a lot. (They are five year old Creative Inspire 2.1 speakers). I have plugged my headphones into the headphone jack on the speakers and the crackling persists so I think it is time to replace them.
I am currently thinking of either the Gigaworks T20 or T40 speakers.
I have noticed as well that if I plug my headphones into the front jack on my case now I get a lot of hiss which wasn't there before. I know that front mounted jacks can be terrible for this.
I am tempted to get myself a new sound card as well and I was thinking of the Asus Xonar D2/D2X.
Am I on the right track with this?
I have a headset for gaming which I would like to be able to plug in without getting down on my knees and sticking directly into the back of my PC. Are there any decent speakers that have a mic socket as well to plug my gaming headset into?
