Currently building an Athlon XP based Win98 system, and want some expert opinions on what PCI sound card to choose. I do enjoy 3D audio tech like A3D and EAX, but not essential.
Here are the cards I have from the top of my head:
- Aureal Vortex 1
- Aureal Vortex 2 - What I am using now, but SB emulation not being detected and I cannot enable it!
- Diamond Monster Sound MX400 - Canyon3D based card
- Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! PCI - Might be good for EAX
- Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS - I know Drivers for win98 can be a pain, but it's a pretty high end card
- Turtle Beach Santa Cruz - Crystal CS4630 based card
- Creative Labs Sound Blaster PCI128 - Just kidding!!
Curious on what you use and why!
