can't decide what to do
hello i think that my on-board sound device is going to die because when i listening music or watching films the sound once fade away a little then after while burst again its like someone plays with the volume wheel slightly up and down. I am already updated the driver and it didn't help and i know my speakers are great (Creative Inspire T6100 5.1)
Now i have to options that i'm trying to decide:
1.Buy Creative Audigy Value 7.1 but the problem is that in my motherboard has 2 PCI Slots.One is occupied with a PCTV-card and the other slot is blocked by the cooling unit of my video card.Therefore if i want to buy internal sound card i need to buy an external pctv card.
2.Buy Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1
With external sound card i can keep my internal pctv but i read some bad reviews to this sound card,some problems that could occur with maybe USB or my computer isn't strong enough; here my PC specs:
pentium 4 3.ghz
ASUS P5GD1 mother board
RAM 2 GB
GeForce 9600GT
WIN XP x86
One Pro is that will improve my laptop sound and its a big pro i would realy like to connect my laptop to 5.1 sound system.Also it is the cheaper option,but still i'm afraid about those reviews that i read.
Please those of you that have expirience with Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 tell what you think and help me decide
