Simple enough question.. been using a Value card for about 5+ years now.

Will upgrading do anything for me?
 
Depends on what you plan to listen to. If you have reasonable speakers, play games and want 5.1 or higher quality music, then an Audigy2 (around $60 for the non ZS one) would be a very noticeable upgrade. If you have $5 speakers and use your PC for Excel, its probably not worth it :p
 
I recently went from a SB Live Value! with Logitech Z 560's, to NVidia Soundstorm with Logitech Z 560's and wow what a difference that made. With the Live Value, music always sounded high strung and very bland, but with the Soundstorm, it sounded a lot fuller. more mids and lows, and a generally more rounded sound. Not mushy mind you.

i assume you are using digital connection WITH an external decoder? and even if you ARE i still think its not worth the extra $ cause soundstorm is 5.1
