Right now I have an nforce2 board with SoundStorm audio. I love it. I've had no troubles with audio and it always sounds beautiful. It has now become the time to upgrade. I was saddened that nvidia did not continue with their soundstorm technology in the nforce3 / 4 line of mobos.
Now let me explain my hatred for creative. I have owned 2 of these cards in my life. They both have failed miserably in my opinion. The drivers are crap and the programs are a waste of disk space. I know many others share this hatred. My question is; what in the bloody blue hell do guys do for 5.1 audio ?
I have read about the the turtle beach santa cruz and found confliting reports of its 5.1 compatibility. I have also heard issues with many games. I am mostly a gamer, so this kinda scares me. Please, if there is anybody that has experience with other soundcards that seem on par to soundstorm, I'd love to know.
