Audigy 2 craps, Asus Xonar DG 5.1 or Diamond XtremeSound 7.1/24 bit?
Hi, I'm looking to get a suggestion/recommendation for a new/replacement sound card.
My current sound card is a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2. It was a great sound card until it crapped out and started to pop/snap/crack like firecrackers. It's so bad and loud that I just keep my speaker system turned off so they don't get damaged.
I have an older PC and need a PCI sound card so these two sound cards are my choices.
Asus Xonar DG 5.1 PCI Sound Card
Diamond XtremeSound 7.1/24 bit PCI Sound Card
Would anyone have a possible opinion/suggestion for me? It's a toss up for me and I'm not sure which to go with... I'm just looking to get the best one out of them and I don't know which it is.
Thanks
