[QUOTE="pannivas, post: 103141, member: 23174"] i havent yet received my Auzentech sound card. I expect to have it some time this week. The onboard soundmax is ok. Never really liked soundmax software. But the main and probably only reason i am changing it is because of my audio setup. I currently only can output via optical SPDIF to my Dolby headphone receiver and then from the DH receiver take the signal with Coaxial to my HDTV. This only works if i ouput DTS live from my PC soundcard. Soundmax does not support DTS live. It has DTS connect which i personaly dont like a bit and the sound does not go through my HDTV with DTS connect. That is the only reason i changed it. I could have used a cheaper PCI sound card with DTS live support but i prefered to spend some money for a good sound card that will last me for at least 3-4years. The X-Plosion is a very good soundcard from the reviews that i have read. Its not a good gaming sound card if compared with Creative XFI but i dont play games. They alos have their newer model the X-Meridian which is a really really good card. Far better than X-Plosion but its too expenssive for me. P.S. The onboard Sigmatel chip that is on all Intel Motherboards is far better than the soundmax and it does support DTS Live. I used to have an Intel mATX before and the HD sound from my Intel mb was far better than the current soundmax. [/QUOTE]
