What sound cards are you running?
I am beginning my research on how to get good sound quality out of CARputer, so I'd like to know how your setup is made and what audio cards you are running.
Thank you

Audigy 4.
KXproject drivers.
3.5 to RCA cables out to pioneer amps, Then to MB Quart components and 12" sub.
Sounds good and more volume than I will ever need thank-you-very-much!
Cheers
BJ

Yeah, I know you can't link searches. But it gets the messages across when people click it and are confused and then go back and read the link where it says "SEAR" and realize that I've done nothing more than run a search with "sound Card" and got hundreds of hits.

I don't think you're gonna like that one.
I didn't.
Low power output and a very frustrating driver suite. Especially on a 7" touchscreen.
low cost though.......

Not too concerned about the low power output, have a good amp. The screen size can be troublesome in tweaking i agree, but i dont play with it too much after the initial setup. I am just tired of the Audigy not remembering the settings and i have to exit Centrafuse go into the EAX program and set it up.
If the Philips doesnt work well i can always switch back.
cheers.

i'm running a crystal dac for a 'sound card' now but my previous setups were:
sb live 5.1
sb live 5.1 w/kxproject drivers
sb live 5.1 w/kxproject drivers-> audio control 24sx linedriver/xover
alpine pxa-h701
crystal dac -> phaze/butler ldx-23 active x-over
each step has netted an improvement over the previous (still waiting to test the crystal dac but have high hopes for it)
I've always recommended; for a budget system, to look for a sb card that can handle the kxproject drivers and you probably will be happy.

I would have probably gone with a SB live myself but unfortunately the case i bought didnt have room for any cards. The initial placement of the PC needed a small case, i have since changed the location and now i can get a larger case. I am just holding off on the expense for now, but its something i plan to do later anyway since i want to replace the onboard VGA with a decent video card too.
cheers.

I have an E-MU 0404 card. Works great. The supplied software, patchmix DSP allows for major tweaking. Includes a 4 band para eq. Good signal to noise ratio. Lots of inputs and outputs, including digital.
I have also tried the M-Audio revo card. Good card too. It does 5.1 if you need this option.

i agree. the driver suite was annoying and a pain to adjust without mouse/keyboard.. touchscreen didnt cut it. i eventually just switched back to my on-board audio
