[QUOTE="giantjoebot, post: 216784, member: 26289"] I've been looking at sound cards, and since I have never bought one before I am having a bit of trouble. Right now what I'm wondering is if I would be fine with 96KHz or if I should go with 196KHz. So far these are the cards that I have narrowed it down to 96KHz [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829271001"]HT OMEGA STRIKER 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz [/URL] 192KHz [URL="http://www.emu.com/products/product.asp?category=505&subcategory=491&product=10447"]E-MU 0404[/URL] [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829121122"]M-AUDIO Revolution 5.1[/URL] [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829271002"]HT OMEGA CLARO 7.1 [/URL] The HT OMEGA STRIKER has great reviews, and the price is right at $80, but its only 96KHz. I would like to keep it under $100, which the last one I linked to (HT OMEGA CLARO) is $160, and a lot more than I would like to spend, but the reviews are amazing, and it uses solid capacitors. The price on the M-Audio is great at $70, but it uses a VIA chip. The reviews say that it has great sound, but the drivers are old, and it can be hard to install them. The emu one is runs about $100, and it is the same brand that was suggested earlier. Ugh, I just don't know. Well at least I have time to deiced, but I'll be debating this stuff until I get it figured out. Just the way that I am. So any advice is greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
