I'm looking to buy either a ProMedia 4.1 or 5.1 system and I'm wondering if I need to get a new soundcard. Right now, I have an SB Live! Value. Can I use the 4.1 system on this card or do I have to upgrade to a SB Live! 5.1 card to fully use the 4.1 system? Also, if I get a 5.1 system when it comes out, would I need a 5.1 card to fully utilize the system? I'm assuming that I could use the 5.1's on the Value card, but the sixth channel wouldn't be supported or something.
Thanks a lot for any help.
