Anyone know of a GOOD half height sound card and where I might obtain it? Hoping for one with support for 5.1, trying to add better sound to an older Optiplex GX. I know I could just get a usb sound adapter but I want to use that as a last resort.
Thanks.
 
Thanks! Little bit more than I was looking to spend on the system its going in, but if its the only one...
Any other recommendations?
 
This is why it's good to define your price range when asking for reccomendations. It makes them more useful.
 
Sorry, should have been a little more specific. I'm probably just going to end up with a usb sound card, probably the best option given the limited selection of half height cards.
 
Man, I wasn't trying to get down on you. I was just asking, in a roundabout way, how much you are willing to spend.
 
Sage I searched around for the same thing last week and didn't find much. I'm using the Creative USB -> SPDIF adapter for a Meedio project I'm building. It's $24+ 5shipping at Newegg and $29 + tax at CompUSA.
 
Oh don't worry, I didn't think you were trying to get down on me at all! I honestly just realized that I should have been more specific in my query. I do the same thing anyone who ask me, "Do you know where I can get this?" Knowing what you're using it for and how much you're willing to spend play a big part. No offense was taken at all!
 
I ordered the sound card I mentioned. Works pretty well, bracket was easy to install. Not much of a true audiophile so not one to comment on its audio quality, but hey, it works!
