Soundcards

Just wondering what sound cards people are using. I have an ASUS p4p800E deluxe with AC97 optical out. Is the something that might give me better sound? Thanks

Turtle Beach Montego DDL with Optical out. I prefer to use a standalone sound card, rather than a sound card built into the motherboard.

I use the optical out from my motherboard and like it just fine. The only thing bad about it, though, is that the volume on the HTPC doesn't do anything. I need to keep the receiver remote around just for that.

I can't see spending $80 on something that provides the same thing you already have onboard, plus you lose the PCI slot. That's just me though.

Hey, neat trick!
Thanks, jds23

Yea, thanks, jds23. Works great for me.

Except I can't control the volume of Dolby Digital, have to use the receiver. Oh well, back to two remotes
