The Audigy may be suitable for your needs, and includes a lot of
features useful to the general user and gamer. For musicians,
it's off the bottom of the scale. What 's your intended use?

Have you tried an Audigy with the project kx drivers ? Very powerful!
The interface can be difficult but that kinda comes with the power

For a start it improves overall THD etc by reversing front and rear
outputs. ATM I'm experimenting with bi-amping by sending low
frequencies
of
a stereo source to the 'front' output and high to the 'back', with
interesting results.

Thanks for that - quite a thing on my Audigy Platinum, much better
interface than Creative's. Google search finds it straight away btw
Kalman.

I've been quite impressed overall. I don't much care for interface
skinning and would rather have somthing more standard - on a high-res
those little controls are so difficult to drag!

Can't fault it on features though. As I think I mentioned I'm now running
audio on a sb live without any crossover other than the Frequency
Splitter DSP.

It certainly sounds different, and to my ear better, although I really
couldn't say if it is more acurate.

Hi J - I'm not really an expert on this, I used to use the card a lot for
transferring music from LP to computer to CD, and I still use it for
listening to music. There is a 10 band equaliser in KX - right click on the
systray icon, under effects. I never got on too well with the creative
stuff - never did quite what I wanted, and I *think* the kx drivers have
made the sound clearer, at least through my Mission computer speakers ...

My latest favourite for listening to music is the latest beta of winamp 5 -
pretty nifty and the media library is a lot better.
