No problems here with my SB audigy and WinXP(in VIA board),my recommendation is Audigy or Santa Cruz,both are good choices.For gaming Audigy is best bet due to having the lowest CPU usage of any sound card available at the moment,the Santa Cruz is a good allrounder with very good drivers.

I think I'm going whith the Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer ...



<< I?ve talked to Alan Dang over at FiringSquad about his experience with the GTXP and he tells me that after a while, one of the 3.5mm stereo jacks on the breakout box actually broke from testing. Both Alan and I have talked to Hercules about this issue and they assure us that only 2 of the review samples were defective. But think about this for a second; if a company sends out a product to be scrutinized and analyzed, wouldn?t they make sure that the product they are sending is in perfect condition? If a product sent out for review ended up breaking, think about what might happen to products that have didn?t have to be prepared for review. >>
