Hi All, Can anyone recommend a good sound card for the Dell XPS 8700? I recently purchased one with Windows 7 and need a recommendation for a compatible sound card. The computer did not come with one. Many thanks.

They pretty much don't make motherboards without onboard sound. Did you look on the back of the motherboard for audio jacks?

ASUS Xonar and Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy are common recommendations for mid-range sound cards.

On yes, it has sound but I wanted a separate sound card for better quality. Dell offers the Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D PCIe as an upgrade option but I was reading the reviews and they are mixed. I will look into the ASUS Xonar. Thank you!
