[QUOTE="jf2020, post: 23601, member: 10892"] You don't need to buy an expensive sound card if all you want is to have the best sound for DVDs and TV *AND* you have an amplifier with a digital input. All you need is to have a spdif output (which may motherboards with integrated sound have today). In this case the sound card does NOTHING but send the Dolby or DTS encoded stream to the amplifier decoders. Good sound = good amplifier (which will have hardware Dolby and DTS decoders) + good speakers. You may want to have an expensive sound card only if you want to play some games or need a good MIDI synth. [/QUOTE]
