Hey all, im planning to get a USB sound card and also a 5.1 speaker for my laptop. Any recommend? my budget around RM600-700 for both. Whats in my mind now is, sound card is Creative sound blaster X-fi Surround 5.1 and speaker is Edifier R501 MK2, is both of this ok?

do u really need surround effect 5.1 ? cuz at that budget will give u a great 2.1 speaker that definitely shine better than 5.1 in term of quality but no surround.
so ask urself do u willing to sacrifice quality over surround
anyway i think that creative usb is gud for external solution soundcard for u.

Erm, as for me, i gaming and also movie quite alot, music is just only played when im doing my assignment,homework or playing some online game so other most of the time will be gaming and movie, so do you think i should get a surround or quality? Myself also not sure >.<

Interesting... May I know how you what did you set the settings? Volume, Bass, Treble and SW? Because the Edifier S530D shouldn't be so lousy. Did you connect it with the soundcard?

i dun think the shop got connect with sound card cause i test there before also, the SQ really sucky but the bass not bad.
