Just state your budget and we give recommendation. Then you go audition it and see whether it suit your taste or not

is it normal for the x-fi card to make the clicking sound when pc boot up..that sound also heard when changing mode..

or is it just my card..??

hmm...
Don't have big budget at the moment.

Roughly Rm500 for MX5021 or Logitech Z2300 at year end.

hey guys....thanks alot for ur tips

Take MX5021, it sounds better

just bought Fatality, any recommended setting for it? i just on the CMSS 3d in 5.1 mode only.

You can just try and play around with the settings to see what is good for your ears It's always personal preference

I have x fi elite pro, but too bad it doesn't support my 5.1 audio system, only 4.1 can be used at the moment

Guys, if you are using Creative sound card products in Windows Vista and is having problem with driver support. Don't worry. Here's the solutions. I am quoting directly from our hero, Daniel K.

SB X-Fi Series Installation Disc for Windows Vista/XP (Unofficial drivers)

SB Audigy series Vista Support Pack v2.15.0004EQ with Equalizer

The problem is with Creative who wants to maintain limited support of their products in Windows Vista. They blame Microsoft for removing the hardware layer acceleration and thus cripple their products where in fact, they wanted it that way in anticipation of a newer fully Vista-compatible product.

With these modified drivers, Daniel K has re-enabled those features originally present and intact in Windows XP. I am using my trusty old Audigy 2 ZS and has restored almost full performance in Windows Vista. Except for hardware EAX (easily solved with Alchemy) and bugs with DD and DTS decoding. Anyway I'm more of a music listener.

NOTE
If you have existing drivers already installed, remove it using the uninstall feature in add/remove programs. Then reboot in safe mode and run Driver Cleaner.NET (http://www.drivercleaner.net/). It will clear out everything related to Creative so you can start new. It will solve most driver installation related problem.

How about the YOUP-PAX drivers? Are they the same or different?

I am not familiar with YOUP-PAX drivers especially when no documentation on what is fix and unfix is done. Need to install and try it out before telling. Daniel K's post seem to have a lot more information so I know what I am installing and what to expect. Have been using the drivers for some time now and its pretty successful except for the DD/DTS decoding (which isn't working on my setup surprisingly) and no Special EQ function when working in other than 2.1 channel mode. I can live with that because I am using Edifier S530D which is a 2.1. DD/DTS is done via my cyberlink playback software so I am still contented.

mod-driver...

is it really make sound diff or just add another function to the software??

There are difference in terms of sound output.

i just bought my edifier s730 speaker?? any nice sound card recommand?? i just plug in on board sound card! i think no different rite?? using on board !

Well to tell u honestly, i think u sure never use external soundcard b4. Guarantee very big difference compared with onboard

A speaker like that, a good soundcard is a must.
Get yourself ready for a new SC, get ready to spend some
