Creative Audigy SE

[sumchamp]

I have onboard Soundmax 1986 chip and looking for a budget sound card. But it should provide decent sound quality. My emphasis would be Music>Gaming>Movies. How is Creative Audigy SE

Newegg.com - Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface Sound Card - Sound Cards

What is your budget ?

The card you have pointed to will cost you about ~1800 BUX VIA kmd

what are your speakers?

imho soundmax onboards sound quite good, and i believe the Audigy SE is similar to the audigy value you get locally for <1.7k

KMD quoted 2.3k

KMD quoted 2.3k

Then you are better off with

Sangram's SB Live 1.5l
OR
Creative X-Fi Xtreme Music for 2.7k
