| 1164886 | 2010-12-27 04:07:00 | I'm going to return and get better speakers this wednesday, before I do, how much quality do sound cards give over, well motherboards? Was looking at something like this. (www.ascent.co.nz) Or would it just be best to continue using my motherboard one. Thanks |

| 1164887 | 2010-12-27 06:25:00 | Depends, really. It might free up a bit of processing power but with what most people listen to, you might find it makes little difference at all. What's wrong with the sound now though? Is it too bassy or what? My logitechs give me quite the nice sound and they're cheaper than yours, or are you an audiophile sort of person? |

| 1164888 | 2010-12-27 06:29:00 | Normal AC'97 Audio is nowhere near the quality provided by a decent sound card. The new HDAudio on motherboards is better than AC'97 but still probably not as good as a decent sound card. Unless you are an Audiophile you probably won't notice any difference between HDAudio and a good sound card. Creative is OK but I would recommend the Asus Xonar or any other card based on the C-Media Oxygen chip. |

I like bassy music :D But these speakers have a plastic crackling sound when you listen close, it's REALLY anoying, I've tested them on my MP3 and Laptop, it's the same deal . I looked around the net aswell, and others are complaining of the same issue . Struggling to find good speakers though . |
