Need Help choosing a Sound card....??

[maniac234]

I have a high quality audio receiver and speakers hooked up to my comp, and want to get the most out of them. receiver supports all the dolby digital stuff, and has digital, optical, spdif, etc ports so that isnt a problem

I want a soundcard that can get the most out of my setup. ALL i do is play mp3's, occasional games, and i have about $60 to spend on one. I was thinking of the SB live digital 5.1 because its only $30 bucks, but i saw the phillips AE for only $60, and was wondering if that would make a big difference in sound quality??

i NEVER watch dvd's, and CHEAPER IS MUCH BETTER so.....

or any other soundcards that are good???

HELP PLEASE!?

I believe Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sounds better than Creative stuff.

check em out on http://www.turtlebeach.com . Its MSRP is $80, so you can probably find it for $60 on eBay or pricewatch.

for your price, get an OEM soundblater audigy.
