Had a dedicated Soundblaster SBLive! digital audio card in my old Dell Dimension 4100 (10 yrs old). Just bought new Dell Inspiron I580 w/Windows 7 which has an integrated sound card now. Old music MP3's sound crappy now--they play slower, very tinny sounding, some words muffled. My tech guy says I need to buy separate sound card now to get back my stereo-quality, rattle-the-windows sound I used to have. Still using my Altec Lansing ACS-340 speakers with subwoofer. I'm not a gamer, just want my music to play on my new computer like it did before--like a great sounding stereo receiver. So what type of audio card should I buy for MUSIC only? And will my old MP3's (grabbed via Napster years ago) play great again?
