I just built my own rig a month or so ago as some of you might know already. One thing I didn't pay attention to at all was a sound card; i'm currently using on-board sound provided by my ASUS mobo, and to put it lightly, it SUCKS.
I just realized recently that it might be because of the lack of a true sound card that my music doesn't sound the same anymore. It doesn't have the clarity, the depth, and best part, it starts getting fuzzy with high-pitched sounds and when the volume is turned up high. At first I figured my speakers are gone, but it can't be; these Altec Lansings have given me lots and lots of listening time without any problems.
Do you guys think its the sound card? And if it is, what should I get? I was looking at the Creative XTremeGamer Fatal1ty card and it looks like its getting raving reviews, but I don't want to pay THAT much for a card (I think...lol.) I don't want my speakers to fly;
I just want my crisp, clear and awesome sound back.
