I unno about you guys, but I've never had a problem once with my SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 X-Gamer. The drivers aren't bad on my end and I don't get any of these 'popping' sounds, either.

Also, Aureal owned Creative Labs with their Vortex line of cards. Still superior in terms of 3D Sound, I think, too bad they don't work with VIA chipsets worth shit or I'd still be using my Diamond Monster MX 300.

The guys who worked at Aureal are all working at Creative Labs (so I read, anyway), so no wonder their products rock in terms of tech (notice how I didn't say drivers? :D), they had all the brains from Aureal show the pussy Creative homos how to get it done right.

The most hated part in my computer is this VIA mobo. But the SB Live comes in a close second. GG useless EAX CPU hog.

24 bit and 192kHz? I'll believe it when I see it output a 96kHz square wave perfectly, which it probably won't do.

So, will it really be 24 bit, or sorta shitty 24 bit like my current Audigy card? I don't need an upgrade, but I'd wait for the VIA card.

What's a decent sound card that won't suck up CPU cycles like the SB Live series?
