Super cheap sound card

[Half Evil]

Okay, so I need a super super cheap sound card. Something that just produces sound.

Because right now, running my on board 5.1 where 4 of those channels are burned out isnt good. When using the last working channel, sometimes it cracks and crap. Drivers cant get any more updated.

So I need something that will just make clear noise. Lookin at sub 20 bucks on newegg.

Anyone foresee any problems with something so cheap

You'll get way better quality and sound.

Youll probably be most likely to run in to lack of software support in vista, but if you just want sound that any card will do.

I would suggest getting something worthwhile however. Just in case you ever want to upgrade you wont have to since you already bought a decent card

I actually have that exact card.

Its sitting in a shoe box next to me x300.

I bought it from the Amish Kid here on the forums. He isnt here anymore, but I never could get the thing to work. I'm pretty sure he hosed me and it never worked, but whatever.

I never wanted a soundblaster much after that.

Try this. Same type of card. It's a little bit cheaper with free shipping.

Thought about that too. But with the lack of money at the moment......... I cant do much,.

^^Out of those 2, I say go with the creative one.

 

[Half Evil]

Kind of what I was thinking. But I have had such terrible luck with creative.

Maybe ill risk it again anyways.

hmm... well it never hurts to try something new either.
