Hi, first off i'll be honest by saying I know very little about sound cards and have always relied on using inbuilt solutions which are part of the motherboard - the gigabyte mobo i have at the mo has a 7.1 card, and have recently connected my surround sound via SPDIF...
While the 5.1 surround system i have is capable of dolby digital and DTS, it didn't even cross my mind to think the sound card would need the decoders also to be able to use these for when playing dvd's etc.
While music sounds good, playing CSS the sound is fairly attrocious and i'm guessing this is going to be down to the lousy sound card.
So my question is, can any1 recommend me the best card for the money - which provides dolby digital, DTS, and makes everything sound sweet.
I want to be spending a lot under 100 if i can help it, and if that's possible??
Thanks a lot, Joe.
