Listers,
I guess that subject line kinda says most of it, but just some
clarification.
I am looking for some suggestions for a reasonably priced USB sound card
without any game audio gimmickry like what I am experiencing with my
Realtek card on my Dell, but a pure audio presentation.
At present, and most likely for the foreseeable future, I will continue
to be using an analog stereo system, so don't need to pay particular
attention to HDMI, or anything related to that.
Would like to have a card with all the appropriate line inputs and
outputs, and with the quality of an audigy, or maybe even better, if
that is indeed possible for a good price. And just as a bonus, I would
like to be able to access the software that comes with it using Window-Eyes.
The only reason I am asking about a USB card is because I don't want to
have to install a regular card. However, if my best bet is to just
forget USB in favor of some real quality, I would be willing to do so.
Of course, I am primarily acquainted with Creative Lab cards,
but any other reputable brand would be acceptable.
Thanks for any input,
Larry
