Sound card options
This is a discussion about Sound card options in the Windows Hardware category; My deal is this: My amp had a feedback issue that I didn't know about and has killed my original SBLive Value and an old SB16. Thus I need a new soundcard. The following are my options: CREATIVE Sound Blaster Live Value Digital OEM! $99.

I would like a Philips card but I can't find anywhere in AU where they are available.
What does anyone think? All replies appreciated.
TIA.

I'm leaning towards the Guillemot at the moment.

Either get a Hercules Game Theater XP, or a Santa Cruz, both are excellent sound cards. I have a SC and it is a great card.
I'm very happy with my Muse XL sound card and it is only 29 USD compared to my second choice 79 USD Santa Cruz
The Turtle Beach SantaCruise is a top card. Solved my crackling problems anyhow. The Videologic Sonic Fury is the same card.
OP
The only problem with getting a Santa Cruz or a Philips is that I can't find anywhere in Australia to buy them.
BUGGER!!!!

Swiped an AWE64 from a friend.
Spent the money buying a new amp for my 3' speakers.

nothing like a good ol ISA card that is huge =) or was that the AWE 32?
OP
The AWE64 I've got is a pretty big slab of silicon, chips and resistors.
