http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829130001

less than $10 lol. not that great but w/e I used to have one on my crappy computer. It's better than onboard but it was only b/c i needed SOME sound...

Why would you need 5.1 sound for porn? I thought porn only required 1.0?

 

[fire400]

40% porn, that's quite sad.

anyhow, get an x-fi and your problems are solved.

 

[Ichigo]

An X-FI(which is plagued by problems, check the forums) for X-530's?

Can you say Crossfire X1900XT's for a 15" LCD?

Cause I have Logitech Speakers X530 5.1 Speakers
I also listen to Mp3 and watch some movies
off course Pron takes the Cake!
I am hoping to get no less then SB Live 5.1 performance wise

Get a cheap audigy 24 card or envy 24 chipset card

The x-fi is well worth it. Makes everyting sound much better. I hightly recomend it. I got one the day they came out and love it. It's not dirt cheap sure but it's worth it.

Let add little bit more spice to it
I aslo use for Internet Voice Chatting and VoIP (Yahoo;MSN; and Skype)
I must able to use Mic and Speakers Same time

 

[ChiPCGuy]

Auzentech HDA Digital X-Mystique 7.1 for $89 on NewEgg. Awesome card, with incredible digital out capability (more than the X-Fi. such as Dolby Digital Live encoding) and highly stable easy to use and intuitive drivers with NO BLOAT (drivers and BLOAT have always been the achilles heel of Creative). You can hook it up analog now, and then spring for a Logitech Z-5500 or more advanced external digital decoder and proaudio monitors down the road if you really want to spend some money.
