Buying a Sound Card

-The Sound Card comes in many flavors for those who want quality sound or recording. Most of us just want a good Full Duplex sound card that can play music CD's or the common MIDI file over the internet. When looking for a sound card you can buy a 10.00 16 bit ISA card and have no problem playing most files. But when you do this you will also run low on features and be more dependent on the software rather than the hardware of the sound card. The sound card is by no means required when building or upgrading a computer but the multimedia experience cant be overlooked.

-Buy no less than a 16 bit card, and look for one in PCI format if possible. The sound card isn't real expensive but there is no problem paying 200.00 for the surround sound cards with all the toys.

(What To Look For)

-Some key components to look for in a new sound card should be at least:

Enhanced Wave Audio

Enhanced MIDI, 32 Voice Polyphony

3D Capabilities for games and other multimedia

Full Duplex operation for Video Conferencing and Telephony

Possibly studio functions for recording

Brands

-The most common brand of sound card out there is the Sound Blaster. This has been the PC format card for the longest time. Most Sound Boards are modeled after the Sound Blaster. Here are some Cards that are the most recommended:

-Creative Labs, offers the best in sound and a good price. Both cards are great and would recommend the Live Value if your funds are low.

High End - Sound Blaster Live, (Check Prices)

Mid Range- Sound Blaster Live Value!, (Check Prices)

-Yamaha, offers great sound in PCI format and fairly cheap.
