Sound Card

Last question of the ngiht (or shall I say morning) for me:

Can anyone show me some good 5.1 sound cards? I like either creative or Turtle Beach, but prefer creative. I don't need 6.1 or 7.1 or anything just 5.1. I was looking at the Audigy 2 ZS, seems a bit expensive, but i'll look further into it. BTW the AUdigy 2 ZS is a 7.1, but everyone reccomeneds it, why is that?
 
The Audigy ZS can do everything up to 7.1, not just. I'm waiting for the next generation - the ZS just isn't worth it.
 
Heh, I have one more question.

I would like to know what each port on a sound card is used for. For example the green is for speakers, the red is for the microphone. I think the black is for subwoofer and I have no clue what the blue yellow and the big orange one are.
 
What card are you looking at? The TBSC? Newegg lists the connectors as "line in, Mic in, Line/Headphone out, GAME/MIDI, Versa Jack, CD in, AUX in" on that card.
 
i recommend getting the audigy ES or vanilla audigy. the audigy LS would be ok too, all below 50$. i have the audigy ES got it for 38$ a yr ago, from livewarehouse i think..
 
A Sound Blaster Live i think. I was just wondering like what's the blue port used for and the black and the big one that looks like a monitor serial port.
 
Blue is usually line in, black is usually rear speakers, and the big one that looks kind of like a serial port is a gameport (for the older non-USB controllers). Oh, and I have (had) a Santa Cruz and it's excellent 🙂
