I am currently rebuilding my system and am considering a new sound card but am having trouble deciding if there is really anything better than what I am using? I am happy with the setup but would entertain something if it were better sound quality.
I am currently running a GametheaterXP which is a pci slot card with an external rack. It does dolby digital 5.1, which I am happy with. Don't have the desire or need to go to 6.1or 7.1. Anyway, the rack has spdif, digital, and coaxial outs. I am using the coaxial outs right now and am running them to my amps for the 5.1 speaker setup.
Any thoughts on a better sound quality card that would be this easy to use/setup?

There are a number of options out there.
The sound quality of your system doesn't end at your sound card...it depends on everything.
There's a thread in the Car Audio FAQ section that lists all of the various external sounds cards avaliable. There are a ton of PCI cards so there hasn't been a thread made for them for obvious reasons.

Right. I just thought I might have been talking to myself for a minute.
I have been reading a lot and did see/read that thread a while ago. It was very helpful actually. I think I am giong to stick with the one I have. I haven't seen or heard/read of anything better on here. I was thinking of going total SQ but that would require lots of other add on parts and stuff to tune/screw with. Not that into it anymore and I have really great sound now. Might look into some other things in the future for better sound control.

Yes that is what I am thinking of doing. Keeping what I have and just doing some software tweeks to get it to be a little bit better.
Any suggestions on some software to look into??
I was running win98 and windows media player and was happy with it but might switch it to winXP.....was having trouble getting XP to run everything right though.

There are a number of threads on here where we've discussed software tuning options and where I've discussed bit-perfect. Searching for these threads will yield a good deal of additional information that would be critical to your understanding of this area of the CarPC.

Sounds great will search/read those as well. Going to be spring before I get going on the new PC so I have time to read and do a little research.
Thanks Red
