I'm looking to get a sound card soon, however know nothing about them. I've tried finding some info and have found some, although more professional opinions would be great. My budget is $50ish usd and I want just a decent 7.1 card that has good audio nothing spectacular. After looking at some on newegg Asus seems to have the best choices between $30-$60 with their Asus Xonar models. But I'm at an impass because they all seem like the same card and I can't tell much apart from them.
