Lonsdale85 Posted April 17, 2001 Share Posted April 17, 2001 its a 16 bit ESS Allegro On board Sound, have you ever heard of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhui Posted April 17, 2001 Share Posted April 17, 2001 Nope, I never heard of it. Sorry, I cannot give any comment about your soundcard, but since It is only 16 bit, I think you need to change your card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windstorm Posted April 17, 2001 Share Posted April 17, 2001 Sounds like something Compaq would use... You should upgrade... a SB live value will do fine and won't be too expensive. You don't need the new 5.1 cards unless you plan to add extra speakers. ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.

Lonsdale85 Posted April 17, 2001 Author Share Posted April 17, 2001 I dont mind paying more for a sound, is there an audible difference between SBLive or Acoustic Edge Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janko10 Posted April 17, 2001 Share Posted April 17, 2001 uhui, just about every sndcard on the market is 16 bit, including the AE, the live's, the Turtle Beach, almost all of them. Practically the only ones that aren't are based on the audiophile 2496 chip's, being 24 bit, 96 hz. True, you should get a new sndcard, cause onboard audio usually sucks, but there's no need to get a 2496, which generally has more compatibility problems than more plentiful brands. Go with an AE, i like mine alot, and i hear the game theater XP is pretty good too. hope this helps, J ------------------ JOIN THE "AMY FOR PRESIDENT" CAMPAIGN.
