Any reviews for cheap, NON-Creative Labs soundcards?

[AnitaPeterson]

Hi there,

I`m putting together this really cheap box, and upon realizing that I have no integrated sound, I started thinking about a sound card.

But since I don`t want to buy a SB Live or anything even more expensive than that, I was wondering if there are any sites out there that review cheap audio card... I`m sure some of them SHOULD be quite decent, the question is - which ones?

The hercules muse whatever (there are several) are good cards for like $20 canadian. They use a decent (for value) C-media codec.
tech-report did a report on it in one of their soundcard showdowns.

Check out the ott.forsale.computing newsgroup Anita,there's a few people there selling sound cards last time I looked.

If you dont know how to use newsgroups you can always use Google newsgroup reader. 🙂

RB computing or PC cyber will be able to hook you up.
EB in the rideau centre also has it for $20
