Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.1 sound card suggestion

[underfunded]

I just ordered the Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.1 speaker system. I am running off a Creative Live Value card right now and that is just not going to cut it for my new speaker system. What do you suggest for a sound card for the best sound out of the speakers?

the sblive should be fine. if you're a gamer and you want to upgrade blackinches would suggest the audigy 2. but really the two cards aren't that different.

games: Audigy 2
music: M-Audio Revolution

SBLive lacks a center channel hookup, he wants Audigy or better.

ditto, i have the klipsch 5.1 and the audigy 2 and am very satisfied with it. Crisp, clear, and strong.

If you are doing games and music the Audigy 2 is the obvious choice. If you just want to listen to music check out the AV-710 from Chaintek, thing is like 25 bucks too. Them of course the M-Audio was mentioned there is another I have seen mentioned EU something or other, supposed to be very good quality also.

OK, I plan on music and mostly gaming. I will go the route of the SB Audigy 2, which version should I get? Or does it matter?

Doesnt matter much. Look for a good deal online for a OEM version IMHO.

Audigy2 ZS would be my first choice.

doesnt have a rebate but still not a bad price for what you get if you need the games

That's not a good price on that card with when Best Buy is $10 cheaper to begin with.

get the Audigy2 ZS, you won't be disappointed. Best signal-to-noise ratio makes your speakers sound their best.
