DTT 3500 Creative Sound works....blablabla what kind of soundcard do I need?

[ndee]

I've got a Soundblaster live Value with NO digital out.....

When I wanted to use this... I must have a 5.1 Surround sound card... don't I?

No, the amplifier has a DD5.1 decoder built in for your AC3 streams and such.

You can use the rear and front analog outs, but you won't be getting the full benefit of the individual channels.

 

[ndee]

So which sound card would you recommend? But actually it's stupid to buy such a surround system just for a computer, isn't it?

Any Live with a digital out should work. Only the DTT2500 requires the Live 5.1 series.
