nah its in the picture u dont suck at reading

Supporting Dolby and Dolby Digital Live are completely different things. For those of us with digital home theater amps, it is a necessity for surround sound in games. My Audigy 2 ZS gained support for Dolby Digital Live for $5 a few years ago, and daniel_k hacked in DTS:Connect support (which I actually prefer).

if you run digital, you need it for gaming.

Indeed, thing is with DD is that it cuts sounds and i hated it back in the day and hate it today by being forced to use it.

Wow, looks like i can finally pick up a sound card.

Awesome price.

QFT. Yeah, finally a soundcard for a nice price. I don't need anything fancy, just something better than onboard could be fine (that already sounds good). Used Audigy 2 (as Audigy 4 with drivers) until Vista came along. No EAX made me onboard user, but this with the headphone amp and spdif out would be perfect.

I use headphones all the time and optical out is for movie stuff. PCI-E 1x could have been nice, but for the price I'll take PCI. Think I have 3 of them useless in my mobo :laugh:
